Hello everyone. I will be setting up a new 365 on-prem ifd deployment with the following multiple server topology:
2x web application servers in windows NLB cluster
2x sql servers in alwayson availability group cluster
1x asynchronous server
1x sandbox server
1x reporting services server
1x active directory domain controller
1x adfs server
Can you kindly share any preferred step by step documentation on this sort of configuration? I am reading several MS links and blogs but I have a few questions specific to the nlb and alwayson configuration.
1. Do I need to setup a windows failover cluster or nlb cluster for the two sql servers that will be in the alwayson availabilty group or just add them to an availability group?
2. Should I install crm to the web application cluster before I've created the alwayson group or after?
3. When setting up the ifd, do I need to have 443 open for just the nlb cluster or does each application server need it as well?
Any help is appreciated.
