Hi gang! Currently we are running E2k3 SP2. We have experienced some pretty big downsizing and I'm looking at simplifying our environment... We built the...
I don't see any need for a bridgehead/routing master in your scenario even with thousands of users. Put the two mailbox servers in the same routing group...

Looks good. Depending on the pipe between Asia and the home office, you might be able to put all the mailboxes on the home office server to further ...
Well... Support can be beautiful!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. :) We are looking to bring in an ESX server to use as a lab for our E2K3 to E2K7 migration and my...

Incase you didn't know.. I'd look at these before using ESX in production http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320220/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897615/ ... ...
I would believe these to be the very items that Ed was referring to. It is odd though that they do not say that virtualization is not supported, just only on...
We are currently running Exchange 2003. We have a central help desk that is our tier one support and they want a way to look at user quotas. Is there a way to...

Everyone has read access to most of the privileges in AD. They can only be accessed if the Domain management tools are installed. That said, you could install...
It's very understandable, really, and I don't think it's an attempt to be anticompetitive. VMware isn't Microsoft's product, so they're reluctant to offer...
While user quotas are in AD, mailbox usage stats are in the store and require different tools and rights. Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Time Magazine's Person...
Not a risk that I personally am willing to take, no matter which vendor's virtualization software. If I have to call support, I want help right now. I do not...
I can't say that I blame you. I'd advise the same thing myself. But my clients tend to be large customers who don't stand to gain much by virtualizing...
Eight years ago, one saw the word Antigen in place of VMware here. A product derived from innovative, outside-the-box thinking which employed standard...
We have a client that has a very strange issue with NDR on a Exchange 2003 SP2 box. NDR's process fine and the server is up for days and weeks on end, then one...
Eight years ago Sybari replaced a Microsoft Exchange DLL with their own version. That was innovative, maybe, but clearly not supported. I can speak only for...

They replaced a component developed, supplied and supported by Microsoft with one of their own that wasn't regression-tested at RTM, for patches, or for...

Fair enough. Good answer. While there may have been an argument to be made from some that the risk that was mitigated by using them as an AV product, I do not...
While there were risks associated with replacing the Microsoft developed component with one developed by a 3rd party vendor, there was also the very real risk...

That may be, but, I personally am not willing to try and have to justify to an elected official why I am not able to get messages flowing because Microsoft...
I'm not advocating anyone do anything, so you're welcome to virtualize or not. It matters not to me. What if the reason you couldn't get mail flowing was that...

Supportability, as I'm sure you well know, is a huge Holy Grail in some envrionments and not in others. I am at least grateful to Microsoft that they make it...
