Failover

Page 493 of 677

Outlook Web Access is not needed, contact technical support for a
workaround.

If you SMTP gateway is configured to send e-mail to a specific IP
address that address is not failed over to the target, you will need to
update the IP address after failover.

Mail stores or storage groups created after a failover will not be failed
back.

SQL Note:

After failover, linked databases in the SQL instance will be

unavailable until the service master key is updated. You will need to
run the command "alter service master key force regenerate" against
the SQL target server to reset the service master key and then
remove and re-add the linked servers into the target SQL instance.

After failover with a snapshot of a SQL database-only server, the SQL
services on the target server are stopped and the databases are not
mounted. You will need to manually start the MSSQLServer service
for each instance on the target server and then manually attach the
databases.

After failing over SQL 2008, Rich Internet Applications created using
ADO.net 2 may not connect.

After failing over SQL 2008, you may not be able to take the SQL
database offline. If this occurs, stop and restart the SQL Server
Management Studio application, and then you can take the database
offline.

After failing over in a SQL workgroup, you will not be able to connect
to the source server instance of SQL. You can work around this issue
by creating an alias on the target with the source server’s name.

BlackBerry Note: There is a potential to lose BlackBerry instant messages and instant

message contacts when an Exchange mailbox is moved, depending
on the type of BlackBerry hand-held device. You should back up
instant messages through the BlackBerry desktop software or have
the BlackBerry Enterprise server configured to audit all instant
messages through a policy.
