Hello all I have question and I hope I can articulate this as clear as possible. Our set up consist of 4 domains. One is the parent and the other are child domains. Exchange servers are built in each of the child domains, 1 per child domain and none in parent domain.  Everything works however security is asking about why does an outlook client that  is on child domain 1 trying to connect to the exchange server of child domain 2 and sometimes child domain 3?(almost like a round robin effect) I would like to explain to them in confidence rather just saying… that’s just the behavior of the forest.. Even if it is just would like to explain it better. When I log into the EAC of child domain 1 i see servers for child domain 2, and 3 and if I change any settings it changes them across the servers. We are in closed environment but they want the environments isolated. I looked online but I have not found anything in regards to this type of set up.
