To the group... We are going to rebuild our exchange environment (current one sucks and I haven't a clue why it still works) and we wish to attach some administrative tools to the project. As shown in the subject I've been reviewing tools that my department can use to streamline anything and everything with our new/current exchange server.
Now I'm looking for real world experience, policies, ideas, pros and cons etc. This is what I have in my plan so far for exchange Config... Gateway -Win2000 Firewall -PIX 515 Bridge Dir. services -Win2000 Exch5.5sp4 Bridge Information store -Win2000 Exch5.5sp4 3rd party -This is where I'm looking for suggestions 1. Mail Essentials -Content filter -AV with VSAPI (mapi=bad in my world {I hate bricks but have no choice *really, not kidding*}) -Spam filter -Disclaimer -Installed on the gateway 2. Bind View BV-Control -Query base administrator -Policy enforcement -Jr. Admin permission control -Security scan and enforcement -Performance tuning Is there a better set of tools out there? What pro/con you all had with these tools? This is where you all pull out your big sticks and tell me to read the archive or the FAQ (Not done with it but reading) use send mail, blah blah blah.
