After you create an Exchange Virtual Server, you cannot rename it

If you want to rename an Exchange Virtual Server after it has been created, you must remove it and then re-create it with another

name For information about how to remove an Exchange Virtual

Server from a cluster, see "Removing an Exchange Virtual Server"

in the Exchange Server 2003 Administration Guide

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=21769)

12 If the operation was successful, a dialog box appears indicating that you have successfully created the Exchange Virtual Server The Exchange Virtual Server you created will now appear in Exchange System Manager

However, if the operation was not successful, a dialog box appears indicating why the process failed The New Resource Wizard remains open, so it is possible to go back in the wizard, remedy any problems,

and then click Finish again

How to Move an Existing Disk Resource into an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

This topic explains how to move an existing disk resource into an

Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

Procedure

To move an existing disk resource into an Exchange Virtual

Server in a Windows Server Cluster

1 In Cluster Administrator, click the group that contains the physical disk resource you want to move to the Exchange Virtual Server The node on which you create the Exchange Virtual Server must own this group If this is not the case, first move the group to this node You can move the group back to the original node after the move

2 Drag the physical disk resources to the Exchange Virtual Server After moving the disk resource, it appears as a resource of the

Windows Server Cluster

This topic explains how to add a mounted drive to an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

404

Before You Begin

This procedure applies only to server clusters running Windows Server

2003 Mounted drives not supported in Windows 2000 server clusters

Procedure

To add a mounted drive to an Exchange Virtual Server in a

Windows Server cluster

1 Open Cluster Administrator

2 In the console tree, right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, and

then click Bring Online

3 Ensure the disks to be mounted have been added to the Exchange Virtual Server:

 If the root disk resource already exists, see How to Move an Existing Disk Resource into an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

 If the root disk resource does not exist, see How to Create a

Physical Disk Resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

4 To add a disk to be mounted on the root disk to the Exchange

Virtual Server, perform the following steps:

a Right-click the physical disk resource and then click Properties

b In Properties, click the Dependencies tab

c Click Modify

d In Modify Dependencies, add the root disk to the list of

dependencies

5 Click OK twice

How to Support Multiple SMTP Domains in a Front-End and Back-End Topology

If you run Exchange 2003 in a front-end and back-end topology that

includes multiple SMTP namespaces, you must create additional HTTP virtual servers in the Exchange Virtual Server for each domain

namespace For example, if contoso.com hosts Exchange Server 2003 for both tailspintoys.com and wingtiptoys.com, three virtual servers are necessary—the default virtual server, a virtual server for tailspintoys.com, and a virtual server for wingtiptoys.com This configuration provides

maximum flexibility in determining which resources are available to each hosted company

How to Create an HTTP Virtual Server in Exchange System Manager

When you create an Exchange Virtual Server, during the creation of the Exchange System Attendant resource, Exchange creates an HTTP virtual server resource

This topic explains how to use Exchange System Manager to create an HTTP virtual server

Before You Begin

The following steps must be repeated for each Exchange Virtual Server in the cluster

408

Procedure

To create an HTTP virtual server in Exchange System Manager

1 Open Exchange System Manager

2 In the console tree, expand Servers, expand the server that you want to configure as a back-end server, and then expand Protocols

3 Right-click HTTP, point to New, and then click HTTP Virtual

Server

4 In Properties, in the Name box, type the name of your front-end

server

5 Next to the IP Address list, click Advanced

6 In Advanced, under Identities, select the default entry, and then click Modify

7 In Identification, in the IP address list, select the IP address of this

Exchange Virtual Server (the back-end server) This IP address must match the IP address resource value you previously configured for the

back-end server

The Identification dialog box

8 In the Host name box, type the host header of the front-end server

This is the name by which the clients access the front-end server The host header for the Exchange Virtual Server must map to the host header on the front-end server

Note:

Client requests to the front-end server use a specific host, such as http://mail.contoso.com A virtual server on the front-end must have the "mail.contoso.com" host header configured The front-end

410

server then proxies the request to the back-end server, which must also have the host header configured on a virtual server

9 Verify that TCP port is set to 80, and then click OK

10 In Advanced, if you want to add an additional identity, click Add,

and perform Steps 6 through 8 again

Note:

Consider adding several identities to the virtual server that list all

the ways that a user might access the front-end server For

example, if a front-end server is used both internally and externally, consider listing both a host name and a fully qualified domain

name, such as "mail" for internal access and "mail.contoso.com" for external access

11 In Advanced, click OK twice to create the new HTTP virtual

server
