Widows Server 2008 R2: How to create a connection between two Exchange Servers?

Question

Microsoft Exchange

There are two servers running Windows Server 2008 R2. On each of them the domain + Exchange Server is lifted (as on everyone). These two servers are on the same subnet.
The task is this. Send email from one Exchange Server to another. Those. Send a message from one domain to another. How to implement something like this? I'm facing for the first time.

Answer 1

Good afternoon,
There are options:
1. If DNS server roles are installed on both servers, then on each of them you can create a record about the domain of the second server. Those. for example, there is a domain test1.ru (on server1) and test2.ru (on server2). You create an MX record on server1 for the test2.ru domain referring to the local IP server2. And vice versa. As a result, letters between servers on these domains will be delivered locally
. 2. Set up a separate Send connector in Hub transport for these domains on each of the Exchange servers. Those. In the new Send connector on server1, on the Address space tab, you specify the test2.ru domain, and on the Network tab, in the Route mail through item, enter IP server2. And vice versa.
See what is easier for you :)
Good luck!

Answer 2

after these manipulations, the messages went where they needed to, but did not arrive on the right server. the receiving server responded with "message was not delivered due to a permissions or security issue" . solved by setting up the receive connector on the receiving server. it is, maybe it will be useful for someone
