If you do not specify IP addresses the DAG will be created with an IP address of 255.255.255.255, which is called IPless DAG.

Every DAG has an FSW configured. Not all DAGs make use of the FSW at all times though.

As per your blog post if some one configured with 2 nodes and add 3rd node later point time time they will end with lots of quorum last errors.
This blog post is not suitable if we have 3 node(s) majority Dag configuration.

Suitable only for test labs

I have two Exchange 2013 servers running on Windows 2012 R2
Both of them have CU17 installed
I try to enable DAG but getting the following error message
A server-side database availability group administrative operation failed. Error The operation failed. CreateCluster
errors may result from incorrectly configured static addresses. Error: An error occurred while attempting a cluster
operation. Error: Cluster API failed: “CreateCluster() failed with 0x5b4. Error: This operation returned because the
timeout period expired”
Thank you for your help

Yes, you should use the same certificate on other DAG members that are also configured with the same client access namespaces.

For more on namespace config:

Just wanted to thank you for the guide in installing Exchange 2013 DAG. I have perfectly configured everything through your guide. All tests came PASSED when I run Test-ReplicationHealth from exchange management shell, there is no BAD COPY COUNT. All Databases, active and passive, are all in HEALTHY state on all DAG members. I just have some questions in my mind.
Do I need to load the same certificate which we are using in the LIVE Exchange Server to all DAG members? How this will work? Let’s say the Live server shuts down for any reason and the other DAG member is up? How is it going to work? What are the settings we need to do in the other DAG member to minimize downtime? Thanks in advance for your input.
