I'm knee deep in a 2003 SP2 to 2010 build right now. I am by no means an Exchange guru. I'd recommend you budget some $ for a few calls to MS PSS . I spent four hours on the phone with a woman from India yesterday resolving a Public folder replication issue. She was absolutely brilliant .

Also curious to know if you guys virtualized any, or all, of the roles ? Whichever direction we go, management is definitely going to virtualize all the roles. On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 10:08 AM, Maglinger, Paul pmaglin...@scvl.comwrote: What a coincidence. I’m having a meeting today with some

Some Exchange/Outlook steps needed?

2010-01-13 Thread Holstrom, Don
Too much e-mail keeps hanging around. I have heard that some firms back up their users' C: drives. Weekly or monthly. This means that the user could listen to the Outlook request to archive old items, taking it off the Exchange server. Of course, if they need to see an archived e-mail, they

Hi Don. Email expands to consume the available storage. It is axiomatic. Company and/or legal policy has to define: A] how old email can be, B] how often it gets deleted, and C] what happens to it then. Then it's up to you to enforce those limits... From: Holstrom, Don
