2. Install Exchange with required roles. If using the SCR server as a CAS, HUB and DR mailbox server, just install those roles as usual.


3. If installing 2 SCR servers that will be in a cluster, you will need to install Failover Clustering service on the SCR server (make sure you reboot)


4. If using clustering, create folder structure for Exchang install files %:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server and install Exchange passive node to this location.


5. Create storage group folders in the same location as the primary server


6. Create log folders in the same location as the primary server


7. Enable the storage group eg. Enable-StorageGroupCopy “\SG_NAME” –StandbyMachine –ReplayLagTime 0.0:0:0


8. Seed the database if required (database file will not be there on the SCR server until 50 log files are available. You can dismount the stores and copy databases or follow article from MS Exchange


9. To check the storage group copy status use get-storageGroupCopyStatus from a CCR node
