Automatic Failover fails

Question

Hey guy any help would go a long way. This is a test lap. I have RepliStore installed on two domain controllers with exchange on each DC. I have an alias setup and it manually fails over just fine. However, If I pull the network cable out of the source server it starts to failover...however it fails. Usually it gives errors about not able to start the mail services. The domain controller that is the source server holds all the AD rolls and is the schema master. Each DC is a DNS Server. and has both it's own IP and the other DNS Server ip. Thanks every.

Bob, I am not sure if this is a very good test. Typically, you would not install Exchange on a DC, especially on 2 boxes in the same environment.

Demote one box to just an Exchange box and setup the DC on another box.

Where do you see the errors when the Exchange services do not start?
Event Viewer, RepliStor?

Replication Manager
