Throttling policies in a DAG

HI,
I have a question regarding the exchange's throttling policies.
Currently my infrastructure consists of a single exchange 2016 cu23 with all security updates.
The mailboxes are on different databases.
Throttling policies have been created and applied to all mailboxes.
Now I want to put another exchange and do a dag to divide the db on the various exchanges.
Are the throttling policies that I made previously active even if some dbs will be active on the second node of the DAG?

 

Thank you

 

Greetings

  • Hi pazzoide76,

    yes, the throttling policies you've established and applied to your mailboxes will remain in effect even if certain databases are active on the second node of the Database Availability Group (DAG).

    These policies are linked to individual mailboxes, rather than databases or servers. Consequently, when you transfer a mailbox database to another server within a DAG, the throttling policies associated with the mailboxes in that database will persist.

    However, keep in mind that the Active Manager determines which server hosts the active copy of a mailbox database, and the throttling policies of that active copy will be applied to the client requests.
