Question on Exchange 2007 Client and Hub roles
Nov 7 2007, 7:56 PM EST
I was reading through the Dell document on Exchange 2007 features and I read something that caught my eye.

TheClientAccess role is required in the sameActiveDirectory (AD) sitewhere aMailboxroleisdeployed.TheHubTransportroleandClientAccessrolesarerequiredonevery
AD sitewithin the organization.

The last line in particular.

Does that mean, if I have 5 seperate sites, I need a Exchange 2007 server running the hub and client roles in those sites? Im in San Diego and have sites near Las Vegas and Los Angeles...I need to put a server in those locations?

Just looking for some clarification.

THanks.

There has been some confusion about locating exchange servers at each AD site. To clarify:

- You do not need Exchange 2007 mailbox server role at each AD site. You can decide to have one, but it is not mandatory.
- You do need Hub Transport and Client Access server roles on each site where you have a Mailbox server role.

In you case lets say you have 5 separate AD sites, but decide to have Exchange Mailbox servers in only 2 of those sites. You will need the Hub and CAS roles in only the 2 sites where the mailbox servers reside. Additionally, you can use the same physical server to consolidate the Mailbox, Hub and CAS roles on each of the sites.

Ok. That helps.
I currently have a couple of very large projects on my plan. Active Directory Migration, planning for Exchange 2007. Its a ton of fun though.

Designing the Exchange 2007 roles is cool. I also am really looking into the storage piece for Exchange 2007. I find that fascinating.
