Thanks for the tip on Issue #1 Regarding Issue #2...I'm just going by what our BES admin has told us. I'm supposed to be become her backup this quarter...so maybe I'll find out what the issue really is... :-)

Regarding issue #1, that sounds like a GC communication issue if restarting the SA fixes it... Regarding issue #2, that is not the same experience I have with my BES server and Exchange cluster...

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.

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 ~
