Connect to an Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG)

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 includes database availability groups (DAG), which provides high availability and site resilience. Each data availability group has a DAG name, which is attached to the main node in the group.

If the Exchange server that carries the DAG name fails, the DAG name and and IP address are attached to another node. The new node accepts the network traffic directed to the DAG network name or its IP address.

If you set the Exchange connector to connect to a DAG name, the connection persists during failover.

Follow these steps:

1. Configure every Exchange server in the DAG to work with the Exchange connector. Use the instructions for connecting to your version of Exchange.

   Note: Set the agent up on every server in the DAG.

2. When you set up the connection to the endpoint, use the DAG name as the Exchange Gateway Server.
