Templates and multiple components

When you apply a template that has multiple components, the wizard first attempts to match the names of components (storage group for Microsoft Exchange 2007, or database for Microsoft Exchange 2010) in the template to the Exchange component you selected in the wizard.

If it matches a name, it applies the information stored under that name in the template to that Exchange component. For example, if you select Exch_SG1 for a Microsoft Exchange 2007 component or Exch1-DB1 for a Microsoft Exchange 2010 component in the wizard and the template has settings for these Exchange components, it applies those settings.

An Exchange component selected in the wizard may not match the names of any Exchange component in the template. In that case, the wizard applies the information for the first unapplied component in the template to the first selected Exchange component that does not match any name in the template. It continues in that sequence.

If you selected more Exchange components in the wizard than the number of components in the template, the wizard prompts you to fill in any required information for the remaining Exchange components.
