Front 64

What are the best practices for CAS arrays?

Back 64

Because of the behaviour of the mailbox databases and their RPCClientAccessServer attributes, and how this is handled by different Outlook versions, it is considered best practice to:

■Always configure CAS Arrays in your Exchange 2010 sites
■Configure the CAS Array before you provision mailbox databases or mailbox users to Exchange 2010 in that site
Microsoft themselves recommend this as a best practice.

We recommend that you create a Client Access server array even if you only have a single Client Access server within your organization.

This has several benefits, such as:

■making it easy to scale out the CAS Array name to multiple Exchange 2010 Client Access servers
■making it simpler to replace a Client Access server with a new one of a different name
■migrating the MAPI endpoint to future versions of Exchange Server
