Yes, but then I have to upgrade to OS 2003 too :) Talk about a full day :)
You are right though, there are some very interesting things in that list, and I probably will see what my upgrade cost will be sooner then later :) Bob Sadler City of Leawood, KS, USA WAN/Internet Specialist 913-339-6700 x194 -----Original Message----- From: Webb, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Why would I want to go to Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 - AVAPI 2.5. It allows the AV vendors to actually delete messages containing viruses or matching the spam filters, if enabled, rather than just modifying the content/attachments. It also allows for stamping of a spam confidence level on messages so that users can choose how spammy they want their mailboxes to be using client software (would likely come from the same 3rd party virus vendor). - More transport queue exposure Allows for better troubleshooting. - Vastly improved management of public folders through ESM - Support for Windows 2003 AD features - Better bytes over the wire performance for LAN connected users - Vastly improved OWA including spellcheck, attachment filtering and junk mail rules - More management capabilities exposed through WMI (like being able to generate mailbox size reports with a script) - Ability to use public or private RBLs - Lots and lots of stability improvements over Exchange 2000. I don't know that any of these are compelling for you, but those are some of the interesting things for me. Remember that this is very much like Exchange 5.5 was to Exchange 5.0. Nothing earth shattering, but nobody still wants to be running on 5.0. ======================================== ERM (Exchange Resource Manager) Released http://www.swinc.com/erm ======================================== -----Original Message----- From: Bob Sadler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:25 AM Posted To: Microsoft Exchange Conversation: Why would I want to go to Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 Subject: RE: Why would I want to go to Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 Yes, that may be true. But my E2K server is very stable itself, and the "benefits" of upgrading don't seem much to someone who doesn't need the ability to download your mailbox to your desktop.

Unfortunately, we don't have any road warriors for the City, as we allow OWA to be used, and the connection speed for that is just fine for everyone; or so they say. I will probably wait to upgrade to Exchange 2003 for at least a year, let everyone else work out the bugs :) Bob Sadler City of Leawood, KS, USA WAN/Internet Specialist 913-339-6700 x194 -----Original Message----- From: Robert Moir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:02 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Why would I want to go to Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 09 June 2003 15:52 > To: Exchange Discussions > > Good morning, > > Surely you are laughing by now.

What would these do that your current system doesn't do (easy enough to figure out) that you will need / want to do in future (not so easy)? How important is continued support from Microsoft to you? Do you have a lot of road warriors or people on remote sites with relatively slow links? Are you running Windows 2000 or 2003 active directory? If so then it makes good sense not to have to maintain 2 user directories and upgrading to a newer version of exchange would enable this. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
