There are still issues with this calculator. Did anyone else notice that the Tier-1 group if you change for instance desktop search value from yes to no and vice versa that the IOPS on the role requirements tab never change? I had to stop using the Tier-1 section and use the other Tier 2-4 which seem to be fine.

Hi - I may be missing a trick here but I have entered

Site Resilience User Distribution Model' = 'Active/Active (Single DAG)'

'Number of Mailbox Servers Hosting Active Mailboxes / DAG (Primary Datacenter)' = 6

'Total Number of HA Database Copy Instances (Includes Active Copy) within DAG' =2

The Roles Requirements and Activation Scenario pages indicate 6 active servers in each data center

Number of Active Mailboxes (Normal Run Time) 6038 6038

Number of Mailbox Servers / DAG 6 6

but the Distribution page indicates to me only 6 active servers with 2 active databases on each and therefore 6 servers with no active databases. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug?

Glad to see the improvements. I'm wondering if there's anyway to add scalablity options into the calculator. An example would be, if I started with a environment of 1500 1GB mailboxes, but now need to scale it to handle 3000. Layout a plan to scale out current environment would be cool!
