CAS2010 in Site1 will proxy the request to CAS2010 in Site3. CAS2010 in Site1 will authenticate the user, do a service discovery, and determine that the mailbox is located within Site3, which does not contain any OWA ExternalURLs.

Note: In addition to the mail and directory connections, Outlook Anywhere clients also utilize Exchange Web Services and an Offline Address Book, url’s for which are provided via the Autodiscover response. CAS2010 in Site2 will de-encapsulate the RPC data embedded within the HTTP packet and since the target mailbox database is located within the local site, will retrieve the necessary data from the local Exchange 2010 Mailbox server. Orange User will connect to as his RPC proxy endpoint.CAS2010 in Site1 will de-encapsulate the RPC data embedded within the HTTP packet, determine that the mailbox server hosting the mailbox is located in another AD site (in this case Site3) and proxy the Outlook RPC data to the target Exchange 2010 Client Access server. Blue User will connect to as his RPC proxy endpoint.

CAS2010 in Site1 will de-encapsulate the RPC data embedded within the HTTP packet and since the target mailbox database is located within the local site, will retrieve the necessary data from the local Exchange 2010 Mailbox server. Red User will connect to as his RPC proxy endpoint.Keep in mind the importance of configuring the RPC Client Access array endpoint correctly, as documented in Ambiguous URLs and their effect on Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 Migrations. Internal Outlook Connectivityįor internal Outlook clients using RPC/TCP connectivity whose mailboxes exist on Exchange 2010, they will connect to the Exchange 2010 RPC Client Access array endpoint (assuming one exists). If split-brain DNS is not configured, then set AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri to a value that resolves to the load balanced VIP for the 2010 Client Access servers in your environment.įor more information on how Autodiscover requests are performed, see the whitepaper, Understanding the Exchange 2010 Autodiscover Service. Note: The recommended practice is to configure the 2010 Client Access server’s AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri value (which is the property value you use to set the SCP record) to point to, assuming split-brain DNS is in place. Outlook clients and ActiveSync clients (on initial configuration) will submit Autodiscover requests to the CAS2010 infrastructure and retrieve configuration settings based on their mailbox’s location. The Autodiscover namespace,, as well as, the internal SCP records resolve to the CAS2010 infrastructure located in Site1. To understand the client connectivity before we instantiate Exchange 2016 into the environment, let’s look at how each protocol works for each of the three users. Similarly, the term, Non-Internet Facing AD Site, simply means any Active Directory site containing Exchange servers whose virtual directories do not have ExternalURL property populated.

Note: The term, Internet Facing AD Site, simply means any Active Directory site containing Exchange servers whose virtual directories have the ExternalURL property populated. This site contains Exchange 2010 infrastructure.
