Course Description

Exchange Server 2013 offers a variety of improvements and some new features for planning and implementing site resiliency solutions. In this course, you'll learn how to design, deploy, and manage a site-resilient Client Access Server (CAS) solution which includes planning namespaces and URLs, performing steps for a site rollover, and plan certificate requirements for site failovers. You will also learn to design, deploy, and manage site resilience for transport, which includes learning how to configure MX records for failover scenarios, send/receive connectors for site resilience, manage resubmission and reroute queues, as well as transport failover. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 (70-342) exam.

Learning Objectives

Implementing a Site-resilient CAS Solution

  • describe the considerations when planning site-resilient namespaces
  • match the namespace model to its characteristics
  • describe the reason behind planning a bound namespace model
  • recognize when an organization would implement a cross-forest namespace
  • identify the recommendations for planning internal and external namespaces
  • describe considerations for planning other namespace types
  • describe the changes in the CAS architecture that make removing session affinity at the load balancer possible
  • match the CAS load balancing method to its description
  • describe layer 4 and layer 7 load balancers
  • match the layer 4 and layer 7 load balancing model to its characteristics
  • recognize how CAS server load balancing solution has a direct impact on namespace design
  • configure the settings required for Exchange web service URLs
  • describe how Exchange ActiveSync works in high-latency and low-bandwidth networks
  • describe how the AutoDiscover feature supports client applications
