Yes but you'll configure routing within GoogleApps\Users 
Organizations\groups.  Very easy.

 My question – Can I do per user email routing with Postini?

 Example

 b...@bob.com is routed to mail.bob.com

 f...@bob.com is routed to mail.fredco.com

 sa...@bob.com is routed to coolserver.bob.com

 Office with half a dozen people and no real IT need or infrastructure

 even scaled up to a couple dozen staff and a single server I'm not sure

 Exchange would be first choice simply because if nothing else you do

 need to back it up and someone needs to ensure that happens.



 On the other hand, if you have a few dozen or a few hundred users and

 What about multiple domains?


   - You can add multiple domains as 'alias domains'. They behave similarly
   to multiple email domains in Exchange recipient policies. Just add the
   domain names and those email domains are available to anyone.

 I'd consider it for $dayjob, but we've got several users here with 4 or 5
 email addresses in different domains from which they need to be able to send
 and receive independently of one another.  I haven't dug too deeply, but on
 the surface it appears that those users would be charged 4 or 5 times the
 nominal per user fee.


   - In that case you would use 'groups'. Groups have email addresses but
   there are no charges for group email addresses.  Add who ever you want to a
   group and the mail is routed.

 Does anyone know what Google Apps or the hosted Exchange services do in
 this situation.  (I know I can add multiple domains in Google Apps, but I
 don't see how to isolate a user's a.com and b.com correspondence from one
 another without having different user accounts.)

 A year ago I set up Google Apps for the non-profit school where I
 volunteer, and it's been a huge success.  There is only one email domain,
 and because it's K-12, it's totally free.  If Google charged them $50 per
 user for it every year, they'd almost certainly be on SBS.

   on Dell SC1425 (1U 2 160GB SATA drives on SATA controller, No RAID)
   - Had a recent Acronis snapshot of the failing server
   - Deployed a virtual Exchange 2003 on HyperV 2008
   - Moved all mailboxes to secondary server
   - Rehomed all folders to secondary
   - Pointed RUS to secondary and rebuilt
   - Modify DNS and firewall accordingly (SMTP, SSL, HTTP, OWA)
   - Made secondary the routing group master
   - Reissue SSL for secondary server
   - Replace drives in SC1425 and rebuild server with everything on c: and
   Acronis everything once daily to D: and to backup
   - Considering staying virual. No performance degradation but HyperV is a
   Dell 2950 III 32GB big dog.
   - Play Q2 then Q3 for about 10 minutes.

 Complete.

- Exchange 2003 fully patched on WIndows 2003 E fully patched installed
on Dell SC1425 (1U 2 160GB SATA drives on SATA controller, No RAID)
- Had a recent Acronis snapshot of the failing server
- Deployed a virtual Exchange 2003 on HyperV 2008
- Moved all mailboxes to secondary server
- Rehomed all folders to secondary
- Pointed RUS to secondary and rebuilt
- Modify DNS and firewall accordingly (SMTP, SSL, HTTP, OWA)
- Made secondary the routing group master
- Reissue SSL for secondary server
- Replace drives in SC1425 and rebuild server with everything on c: and
Acronis everything once daily to D: and to backup
- Considering staying virual. No performance degradation but HyperV is
a Dell 2950 III 32GB big dog.
- Play Q2 then Q3 for about 10 minutes.
- Wonders why any Congressperson would vote against the campaign
disclosure bill.
- Bah
- Thanks for all the remarks, truly appreciated!

All accounts are Domain Users and in same OU.  All admin accounts work, most
domain user accounts but 2 out of 60 or so.

Additionally there is one account that after entering
https://mail.DomainName.com/Exchange/UserName and then supplying
netBIOSDOmainName\Userid and password fails. But clear the explicit UserName
and hit enter on the remaining implicit address, OWA shows the correct users
OWA.  Weird eh?  Using IE8 and cache is cleared between each userName try.

 So, is there some clear concise instructions somewhere to do this, like
 does the store need to be off-line, which is what I am guessing.


   - Open ESM navigate to First Storage Group or whatever you named it.
   Right click on First Storage Group and chose New then Mailbox Store. Name
   it something and chose it's location via the Database tab. THe new store
   will mount in a few moments.

Cheers.

  And any ballpark on how long it takes?

  Please bear with me, I was sent to a 2 day Exchange Server seminar and
 handed the job as Exchange Admin, so I am kinda green still.

 If you have 100 GB mail on store A, your going have 100 GB on store B, plus
 100 GB of logs.

 Generally speaking of course. You mileage may vary.

 Just realize that if you create it on the same server you’ll have double
 the store size until you delete the original one! Actually I think it
 actually triples until you have done a successful B/U! Correct me if I’m
 wrong, just make sure you have the disk space.

 Yes. On the same machine.  Not required though. If you have another
 Exchange 2003 server in the same site you can create the store there as
 well.  Apparently it's the moving of mailboxes from one store to another
 effectively repairs.

 It is EventId 1708 and the Source is MSExchange Transport



 The text is:

 I didn’t know if the 127.0.0.1 was an issue?  Never saw it before.

Hi,

 I have three partitions in my SBS 2003 server.

 C - OS
 D - Exchange databases (only)
 E - Exchange logs and AV

 C and E are partitions within the same RAID array
(RAID 1+0). I want to shrink the E drive and expand
the C drive.

 The partitions are basic (not dynamic) and I've read
that diskpart could help me to shrink the E drive.
However apparently it wouldn't of no help for the C
drive.

 Is it possible to shrink the E drive partition so the
unallocated space is left in the beginning of the E
partition and not at the end?

 Any clarification that I need to know?

 Thanks,

 Miguel

Subject: RE: Moving from E2k7 to E2k3

So if you can/have a 2000/2003 environment installed, it's a brainless
procedure from EMC or EMS.  We have done it multiple times back and
forth from 2000 - 2007.

I believe the article was what you were looking to do (ie the mailbox
will work fine when moved back to 2003, it isn't 'marked for death from
2007')

Hope that helps

Could this be as simple as installing E2k3 in the same site as the E2k7

Each version of Exchange makes modifications to active directory.

Each one does it differently.

Exchange 2007 uses A/D differently than Exchange 2003 did. It doesn't
use
some attributes that Exchange 2003 did.

When Exchange 2007 was installed, it looked at A/D and determined
whether it
needed to update A/D, or whether it needed to start from scratch.

If it started from scratch, then Exchange 2003 won't install, because:

1) it'll see that the schema versions don't match, and
2) security is wrong.

It's a Reverse DNS (RDNS) problem.  I'm curious who is telling you your
email server has to start with a three digit code.  It doesn't have to
of course unless some other service provider has that requirement. Do
you have AV or AS filtering provided to you by third party?   Anyway,
Google RDNS and settle in for a long read.

RE: Symantec Outlook Plugin and server load

2008-01-28 Thread Stephan Barr
Symantec has been heavy on the client and the server for quite a while.
Avoid it if you can.  It's particularly heinous on the server, IMHO.  As
far as policies, you build those so scheduling is up to you as to when
etc.  It's wise to disallow the user any actions against the client. 

 

Cheers.

Subject: Symantec Outlook Plugin and server load

 

 

Anyone have Symantec installed out on users PC's with the outlook
plugin?  I am concerned about the load put on the server if a user does
a manual scan of all their email.  In my mind this is going to pull down
all their attachments and go through them one by one.  If some default
policy is set to run a manual scan of machines at the same time, this
could means thousands of users pulling down their mail all at the same
time.

 

I'm looking for anyone who has had any experience with this or had any
issues.
