So what is MS' reason for getting rid of SIS? Perhaps another attempt to convince people to use Sharepoint?
From: br...@briandesmond.com To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: RE: Amusing Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 18:50:57 +0000 Almost. SIS is per database. So if you had those 3,000 users in one mailbox store then it’s roughly only 9MB stored, however if you had them say in 3 mailbox databases, then it’s roughly 27MB and so forth. Note that SIS is gone in Exchange Server 2010. Also take into account cached mode which is Outlook 2003 and newer behavior (unless you turn it off) which would mitigate your scenario of 450 users opening the attachment. Even then so, it shouldn’t take down a server.
