Hi Tien Ngo Thanh,

 

The best practice is that you have 2 Active Directory Sites and in each AD Site you need to have at least a Global Catalog. If you have that you can shutdown on Datacenter and you you have Exchange with replica in place it will move that. You can also see the DAC mode on Exchange to see if is correct configuration within this scenario.

 

When you startup an Exchange environment you will need at least on Global Catalog up in the AD site that the exchange nodes resides.

Hi

     all active directory has global catalog enable .but current five role FSMO in DC , when shutdown i think i will change all FSMO to DR site

     DAG configure

     DatacenterActivationMode : DagOnly

      AllowCrossSiteRpcClientAccess : False

     WitnessServer : cas01.test.com

     WitnessDirectory : E:\DagWitnessDirectory

Best Regards,

Thanks
