Hello everyone, I've got 2 Exchange servers that I wish to load balance. The OS is 2012 datacenter. I've given each server a NIC and I've assigned an IP for the cluster. Server 1 has an IP of 192.168.1.20 and the second one has 192.168.1.21. The cluster IP has the IP of 192.168.1.236. I looked at both NICs and I see. "No Internet Access".

Consider configuring DHCP for your setup. My system has a Server 2008 R2 in the datacenter, and it's using DHCP.

NLB requires a fixed IP address. It's better to avoid dynamic IPs on servers.

No, I don't use a network bridge.

Hmm, seems like it functions on one server but not when connected to the cluster's IP address.

Are you confirming that your DNS and subnet settings are correctly configured?

Usually you run a dedicated tool for load balancing and split mailboxes across multiple servers. For example, the link shows a Microsoft resource. What specific goal are you aiming for?

Ensure even distribution of tasks across servers so that if one fails, others continue functioning.

You're asking about load balancing and redundancy. With load balancing, you can distribute the workload between servers. For redundancy, you aim to keep operations running even if one server fails. It seems feasible to combine both approaches, but you should clarify your priorities first.
