Hello
I need to configure a new architecture on Windows Server 2019 with Windows 10 end-points. This configuration will sustain domain controllers (ADDS & DNS), DHCP, KMS, certification services, Log Server, SCCM and Mail Server (Exchange). The mail section
will be configured in the end separately with DAG.
I'm a beginnner with Failover CLuster but I chose this solution in order to implement HA. I have tested the configuration with 3 Nodes on FileServer Role. It works wonderfully.
I need some expert advice on the manner of configurating the cluster's roles and on the way of implementing the services.
So ... can someone, please, help me with the answers to the following questions:
- If i have over 10000 end-points, are there 3 cluster's nodes enough ? And a single server iSCSI Target ?
- Wich is the best configuration of DHCP Server ?
I'm thinking about 3 possible solutions:
* 2 DHCP Servers with a embeded DHCP Failover installed on 2 VM by using DHCP role from Failover Cluster ;
* 2 DHCP Servers installed directly on DHCP role from Failover cluster ;
* 2 DHCP Servers within a DHCP configuration from embedded failover (outside the cluster).
- iSCSI Server target should be a domain controller or just a memeber server ?
- Taking into account that the WSUS Server determines a lot of traffic should it be configured outside the cluster ? Same question for SCCM or Log Server (Event Forwarding/Subscription).
- I have over 50 file servers on Samba (RedHat) on different subnets which shall be transferred on Windows File Server. Taking into account the fact that SCSI disk are local (not UNC Path) it results a limited number of file servers. In this case which
do you think that is the best solution to solve the problem ?
