OK, I'm new to Exchange 2013. My last REAL experience with Exchange was 4.0/5.0 days. So, yeah, I'm jumping back on this horse and have a very unique scenario I need to accomplish.
I'm designing a new environment to add to an existing environment. But, the systems requirements are what's unique.
Say for example, I have 2 MOBILE systems. For the sake of argument we'll call them Mobile1 and Mobile2. Mobile1 is already in place. It's running Server 2003R2 and Exchange 2007. Mobile2 will be running Server 2012R2 and Exchange 2013. I'll need to upgrade Mobile1 to match Mobile2's OS/BO versions. Once that's accomplished, I will need to connect Mobile1 and Mobile2 so data/mail can flow between both systems. However, there will be times (extended periods of time for sure) where Mobile1 and Mobile2 will be separated from each other. By a distance of hundreds of miles with no presumable connection between them. So, both systems will need to act independently. Then, when the systems are back together, will need to re-connect and act as "1 system".
Is this possible to accomplish using Server 2012R2 and Exchange 2013?
I will be able to build this in a "Lab Environment" prior to go live date (presumed Spring 2017 go live).
Any help or ideas on this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
