Hi All,

Looking for some Exchange hybrid configuration wizard guidance.

Scenario:

EWS published using hybrid.domain.com

2x Edge Servers configured using dedicated FQDNs - edge1.domain.com and edge2.domain.com

If I want high availability for SMTP/Edge role with Ex hybrid how can I achieve it?

Can I run HCW twice pointing to each edge FQDN (edge1.domain.com and edge2.domain.com)? If this is not possible, is there any other method available?

Another question I have is when HCW asks for Organization FQDN, it will be always EWS URL, correct?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Syed Azhar,

You can refer to this guide to deploy a classic hybrid deployment:

Create a hybrid deployment with the Hybrid Configuration wizard | Microsoft Learn

 

And adding an Edge Transport server in the hybrid environment can refer to this article:
