How to move default folder location of SMTP server to shared folder.
SMTP is installed in two of the WFEs. Default location of SMTP folders is c:\inetpub\mailroot\. To achieve high availability, we are planning to implement network shared folder as the default folders for both the SMTP in WFEs. Is it possible
to implement? Please advise.

Hi Balaji,
Yes, this is what precisely required for setting up the cluster. Although there are many options as below.
Set up a file share that will be used for IIS shared configuration
- Create a user that will access the share that will be used for the IIS shared configuration.
- Create the file share. This share will be used to store the IIS shared configuration that will be shared between IIS on all cluster nodes. There are multiple options:
- On a standalone server that is not part of any failover cluster, create a file share.
- On another Windows Server failover cluster, create a high availability file share. For details, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844.aspx
- On the same failover cluster that will host the high availability Web site, create a high availability file share. For details, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844.aspx
- Set the permissions on the share that you created in step 2. Give the user that you created in step 1 Full Control permissions to the file share and NTFS permissions.
- Confirm that all cluster nodes are able to browse to the file share. The path to the file share is \\<fileserver>\<share>.
