Cut 'em some slack! I did like that they left it so anyone could create root level public folders one year. There were some very creative individuals who used that opening.

Not a bad effort I'd say. -----Original Message----- From: Preston Jeffares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:44 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time At MEC 99, I went to the panel discussion... I think the guy from Lucent was sitting on well over 100k seats as well. Hehehehe I really would hate to have to run that thing. That was a rather humorous conference... they had a few hundred computers set up downstairs for people to check their e-mail, access the internet, and most importantly to show of Exchange 2k and all it's new toys. It also had this communist block display of server hardware running the back-end... the biggest pieces Dell, Compaq, EMC, and IBM had. On the last day I'm going down to check my mail and play around... only to find out... that their Exchange server went down. No clustering... no backups... HAHAHAHAHAAHHA. The admin for Chevron was standing next to me shaking his head and laughing. It took them a few hours to get things running again. With all the firepower, technology, and gurus... the Exchange server went down at the Microsoft Exchange Conference. -----Original Message----- From: Schwartz, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 10:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Not sure, but I think Boeing or Texaco has the largest Exchange environment in the US. Well over 100K seats.

I like small companies. 100 or less. -----Original Message----- From: Preston Jeffares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:23 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Wow Martin... for some reason I thought you were at the reigns of one of the big systems. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:06 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time E55 on W2K server 70 Users Compaq ML530 Dual Xeon 1GB 2x18 Ultra 3 for OS and Logs 4x36 Ultra 3 for IS -----Original Message----- From: Sabo, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 6:02 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Exchange 2000 SP2 Native Mode 2 NODE cluster Windows Advanced Server SP2 (active/active) 8000+ users Proliant DL580, Quad Pentium III XEON - 700 MHZ - 2 MB cache each processor 3 GB Physical Memory 60 GB RAID on each server Each server is attached through a HBA to an MA6000 SAN One store is 22 GB and the other store is 13 GB Eric Sabo NT Administrator Computing Services Center California University of Pennsylvania -----Original Message----- From: Chris Norris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 8:57 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Exchange 2000 25 users Dell Poweredge 2450 Dual 733 P3 1 Gb RAM 2 (two) Gb IS (they hate me but I don't allow packrats... :) Also web server and MS Project Central server -----Original Message----- From: Mark Kelsay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 8:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Exchange 5.5 ent. 90 users Dell Poweredge 4500 Quad 700 Xeon (1 meg cache) 1 gig of RAM 24 gig IS (Major Packrats here) -----Original Message----- From: Preston Jeffares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 1:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Poll time Don't ask me why I'm in Polling mode today... but I was just curious and thought it might serve some positive purpose to see what kind of environments everyone is running in. See who has the most people on the smallest boxes and who has the largest org. I used to take pride on my little single proc 200mhz w/mmx Compaq server that acted as the PDC, File Server, Exchange Server, Fax Server, SQL Server for 110 people. So what ya got out there? Exchange 2000 2 sites 700 users Quad 1ghz XEON 3 gigs of RAM at each site 12 gig store at one site and 8 gig store at the other Dell Shop (we've been having ALOT of RAID card failures... anyone else?)
