We implemented CCR in October of last year. We have about 2000 mailboxes, about 225 users per DB, max limit is 250MB per mailbox (98% of our users anyway), each DB ranging from 10 to 50 Gig in size...with the 50 Gig DB being the exception (don't ask). Most DB's are 10-20 Gig.
Since our network backup solution isn't compatible with Ex 2007 we are using Windows backup to put the data on a network store, then backing up the store. Not pretty, but it works. So far we have only had two issues: 1) Occasionally Exchange stops authenticating user names, such as when setting up Outlook for a user. Keep getting User Name Not Found. Stopping and restarting the Attendant service cures the problem. Haven't had time to dig in to this to find the problem. 2) If you have a Blackberry Enterprise Server connected to your Exchange server, BES doesn't NOT like losing contact with the Exchange system, even for the minute or two it takes to switch active/passive nodes. Just a heads up...from experience. Larry From: Alex Fontana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 1:46 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Anyone using CCR in production? Curious to know what folks have seen in the field when using CCR. How many users, how large are your databases, any issues you've encountered. Any geo-dispersed clusters, special quorum configs, and how are you backing all of it up? thanks! -alex ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
