The DAG has been provisioned and the database copies have been configured. For more information on these steps see the following resources:

In the next article in this series we’ll look at configuring Transport services.

    Hi Paul!

    I have the Mailbox role and CAS role in different servers but I have a question:
    I can access to the Mailbox Web Manager without be installed the CAS? or both must be installed to use the Mailbox Web Manager?
