I am trying to setup Exhange 2k7 running CCR - I have 4 servers for
exchange:
I have 4 servers that I will (meaning they don't have exchange on them
now) install the following roles:
1 Hub transport (HT)
1 Client access server (CAS)
2 Mailbox servers clustered

All servers are dell poweredge 2950's with Intel Pro/1000 (driver
version 9.12.13.0) PT Dual Port cards + onboard broadcaom BCM5708C

On each server I am teaming the intel nics using adaptive load
balencing
All the servers are on the same vlan
All servers are on SP2 with the latest patches + .net framerwork as of
2/22/2008
All servers are connected to a cisco switch
Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500-IPBASEK9-
M), Version 12.2(31)SGA, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)
I have several Vlans and have no problem traversing them.

I have hard set the ports to 1000 full duplex -

Here is the problem: From my desktop (vlan X) I cannot ping the
clustered mailbox servers (vlan Y) by name or IP - I do an NSLOOKUP
and the name resloves and the IP resolves. I can ping the other two
servers (ht&cas) and RDP into them. Once I am on either ht or cas I
can then RDP into either mailbox server.
I have tried 'unteaming" the nics - doesn't make a difference.

I can also ping the server IP addresses from the switch that my
desktop is connected to.

I don't have a firewall on the two clustered backend servers.

Let me know what other information you need.

Thanks.
