Yea, and Don has finally gotten my Outlook Recall feature to work over on the Swynk list.

Yup.

There's also the notion of remaining 'supported' however. -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 5:58 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DCs, Exchange and not recommemnded? Like everything else however, I prefer my own real life experiences and wisdom/opinions of people I trust rather than relying on a passage in a book (not necessarily disagreeing with the statement mind you) - however, in very small environments, I could easily see an Exchange Server running quite happily on a BDC. If I were to always rely on Microsoft's opinion, I would have never installed Antigen 3 years ago. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Friess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 8:39 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DCs, Exchange and not recommemnded? If you look on page 107, "Defining Your Servers role" in " Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Administrator's Companion", Microsoft press, ISBN 0-7356-0646-3, it clearly states that you should not run your Exchange Server on a PDC or BDC.

MS Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery White Paper for one. You will cry if the Exchange server goes down and it is your PDC and there are no BDC's. Even if it is your BDC, it is still a bad choice. -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 5:07 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DCs, Exchange and not recommemnded? It is written in several places that it is not recommended to put Exchange on a DC. There are two primary reasons: 1) performance 2) disaster recovery. While Exchange certainly can go on a DC, nowhere, NOWHERE does Microsoft recommend this as the preferred deployment. Challenge your consultants. And NAMES! I want NAMES! -----Original Message----- From: Thompson, Elizabeth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 7:38 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: DCs, Exchange and not recommemnded? Per prior thread (see messages below) you all mentioned that there is MS docs that recommend not running Exchange on the DC. Our consultants recommended to us that we should use exchange on the DC because it was recommended by MS. Can you point me in the direction of the Docs you referenced? Current setup: total users 1800 site 1 NT 4 PDC NT 4 BDC NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4 site 2 NT 4 BDC NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4 site 3 NT 4 BDC NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4 Current future plan site 1 DC with global cat. DC with EXC 2000 Site 2 DC with EXC 2000 site 3 DC with EXC 2000 Thanks for your directions. At least I now know that there could be some issues (atleast more then normal upgrade issues) Elizabeth Thompson Service and Support Technician CCBC - Catonsville -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 4:35 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange on DC? I have an Exchange2000 server that's been running on a DC/GC through beta3, RC1, RC2 and RTM. No problems. No unusual funkiness. The documentation strongly recommends against installing it on a DC. Though, I'm sure they hate it when customers pull crap like that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 12:16 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange on DC?

But, from practical experience, I can tell you that it does not work well. We did this with one of our small customers in a single-server environment. We figured, "Hey, if Small Business Server does it, why can't we?" Well, all sorts of funky things happened. Confusing message dialogs, lots of errors in the Event Log, etc. Spent a lot of time in the MS PSS Knowledge Base. We even called PSS on a few issues. They all resolved to, "You can ignore that; Exchange will sometimes generate that error in a single-server environment." Basically, Microsoft told us Exchange is not designed to run on an Domain Controller. Not in so many words, but that is what it amounted to. I got the distinct impression that the only reason it is supported at all is that otherwise, they would not be able to sell Small Business Server, and Microsoft management will not allow that. I hate it when companies pull crap like that. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | not | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, | entity or | organization.

This depends on the size of your org and the amount of traffic generated. Say a 50 user org - with a nice juicy box (at least a dual p-4 with 4 gigs of ram) sure you could run e2k on a dc, and even get away with running owa on it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] at INTERNET Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 2:50 PM To: Balen, Steve B - Raleigh, NC; [EMAIL PROTECTED] at INTERNET Subject: RE: Exchange on DC?
