The underlying Windows OS where Exchange 2013 is installed must support Windows Failover Cluster to be able to setup DAG. Following OS supports Windows Failover Cluster: – Server 2008 R2 EnterpriseServer 2008 R2 DatacenterServer 2012 R2 StandardServer 2012 R2 Datacenter In addition, all servers that will be member of DAG must run same operating system version.

Fortunately starting in Windows 2012R2 Microsoft introduced Web Application Proxy which largely fills the gap.

Exchange Transaction Logs Fill Up Disk Completely. – Chase’s Notes. I have encountered this several times now.
