This is the second and final article of a two-part series explaining the process of creating and configuring a simple two-node Database Availability Group (DAG) in Exchange 2010.
In part one of this article, we covered topics such as the lab environment used throughout this discussion, the components that comprise a DAG, the overall network configuration requirements, and the process to actually create the DAG object using the Exchange Management Shell. If you haven’t read part one of this article, I strongly recommend that you do so before reading part two. In this second article we will initially be examining the log files that are generated during the DAG creation and configuration processes, as these become invaluable when you are troubleshooting.

Exchange 2010 Role Based Access Control (Part 1) If you would like to read the other parts in this article series please go to: Introduction In Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003, permissions were assigned via the Delegation Wizard that was found in the Exchange System Manager console.
This Delegation Wizard allowed the administrator to assign one of three roles to a user that they wished to grant administrative access to. These three roles were the Exchange View-Only Administrator, Exchange Administrator and Exchange Full Administrator roles. Although assigning these roles to administrative users gave those users varying levels of permissions within Exchange, the main issue with this model was that it simply wasn’t granular enough for many organizations. The permissions granularity issue was improved in Exchange 2007. The design of Exchange 2010 has needed to take into account the more demanding and granular permissions requirements of organizations.

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2 Topic Last Modified: 2012-02-14 It's relatively straightforward to install Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 update rollups on a server that's a member of a database availability group (DAG).
Microsoft Update offers released update rollups to Mailbox servers that are part of DAG. However, we recommend that you download the update rollups from the Microsoft Download Center and then install them manually. When you install an update rollup on a server that's a DAG member, several services will be stopped during the installation, including all Exchange services and the Windows Cluster service.
The general process for installing update rollups on a DAG member is as follows: Run the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script to put the DAG member into maintenance mode and prepare it for the update rollup installation.

Face it, most Exchange administrators look forward to their weekly patching projects about as much as you and I look forward to our next trip to the dentist. Throw in the extra complications of switching from a non-clustered environment to one that is clustered and the word root canal comes to mind.
