15 Microsoft Confidential
What Is the Mailbox Server Role?
A server that houses the logic to route a specific protocol
request to the correct destination end point
A server that hosts all the components that process,
render, and store the data
Clients do not connect directly to MBX2016 back-end end
points; connectivity is through client access services
Evolution of Exchange 2010 DAG
16 Microsoft Confidential
The Key to Enlightenment
For a given mailboxs
connectivity, the protocol being
used is always served by the
protocol instance that is local to
the active database copy
Each MBX determines the right
endpoint for the traffic, and so all
sessionsirrespective of where
they startedend up in the same
place
This means that the rendering for
clients like OWA occurs on the MBX-A MBX-B
