    •Default – CAS Server •Each MailboxDatabase has a RpcClientAccessServer field . •This is the end point that mailboxes in those mailbox databases use to connect to the database. When a database fails over, that value doesn't change. The clients are still connecting through that endpoint. •If you can you want that endpoint to be an NLB Cas Array. There's no DNS record changing in your standard database failover. •The attribute gets set when you create mailbox database. •The attribute does not seem to get updated when a database is moved. •The attribute also does not get updated when the CAS server defined in that attribute is down or removed from the organization.           Blog Extended Reading More Information & Reference 1.

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.
