The following combinations of options and behaviors are available:
  • You can specify only a name for the DAG and leave the Witness Server and Witness Directory check boxes cleared. In this scenario, the wizard will search for a Hub Transport server that doesn't have the Mailbox server role installed. It will automatically create the default directory and share on that Hub Transport server and use that server as the witness server.
  • You can specify a name for the DAG, the witness server that you want to use, and the directory you want created and shared on the witness server.
  • You can specify a name for the DAG and the witness server that you want to use, and leave the Witness Directory check box cleared. In this scenario, the wizard will create the default directory on the specified witness server.
