E14 – New-ClientAccessArray

-

 

“
In simple terms a CAS Array is a set of Exchange 2010 CAS servers that are load balanced using either Windows Network Load Balancing, Microsoft ISA Server or a third party load balancing appliance.

Without configuring a CAS Array the Outlook client will connect to a single CAS server within the Active Directory Site and the connection would fail should that CAS server go offline.

•So the array configuration takes two steps which are:

1. Configure the CAS servers in a Windows Network Load Balancing cluster.
2. Configure the CAS Array in Exchange.
"

There can be only one CAS array configured per Active Directory Site.

Also while creating a new Mailbox database in the AD site, the value for the CAS Array was automatically picked up.
