Exchange 2010 EMC connects to wrong server

emcexchange-2010

I have an Exchange 2010 organization installed at two sites with one server at each site. I set up my local site first. Exchange Management Console always chooses to connect to the remote server instead of a local one. I can open the properties of "Microsoft Exchange On-Premises (remotemail.example.com)" and tell EMC to connect to the local server, but it ignores the request and stays connected to the remote server.

How do I get EMC to default to the local server, and why can't I change which server it connects to?

You can try this approach or check the bindings in the Default WebSite in IIS. Is should point to "All Unassigned". Please read-through this article as well.
