How to Automatically Discover Servers

By default, on each Exchange server, DSAccess automatically detects the appropriate domain controllers and global catalog servers in Active Directory for the Exchange server to query. This procedure outlines how to enable automatic discovery of servers.

Before You Begin

Because manually constructed topologies do not update automatically, it is strongly recommended that you use the Automatically discover servers setting.

Procedure

To automatically discover servers

1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click an Exchange server, and then select Properties.

2. On the Directory Access tab, select the Automatically discover servers checkbox.
