RE: Back Up Best Practices
The other "awareness" that DPM 2007 has is DPM 2007, which is quite possibly the best capability of all. DPM on a secondary DPM server is aware that it is a secondary server and allows for selecting which primary data you want to backup a second time (I use this for offsite storage) and then it allows for archiving from disk to tape with any of that secondary data if you so desire. It really is an awesome product if you use Microsoft products on your network.

Would you buy > such a thing? What would you want to be in it? If it provided value sure. One way to provide value is to locate in one spot information I need (me me me or well, someone else in my shoes). Right now, performance monitoring is scattered over web sites and white papers. Performance considerations for enterprises (SANS, thousands of users per server) are not always the same for smaller businesses (hundreds of users). Important Exchange services to alert on is easily found, but what event log entries should I monitor for? What should I just have a summary email for my morning checks and what should page me and cause me to pull out ISINTEG/Esutil? I've been thinking of (in my copious spare time) making a flow chart from the client to server and back. Digging up the numbers for the connection (client to server - server to disk etc) and putting them on the chart on my wall to point at. We had an incident that we were able to narrow down to the SAN. We would get spikes of 4 seconds (not ms, seconds) on disk IO. As you would suspect, that does have a mild side effect on an Exchange system. It was many meetings before management would agree that there was nothing Messaging could do to mitigate it if SAN performance sucked and management was unwilling to address mailbox sizes, multi-GB PST on file shares and suggest inbox message counts be reduced etc. > 2] What type of Exchange topics would you like to see covered in blogs and > articles that you don't see being covered?

The biggest things would probably be performance and the delicate dance between server and client. When to set an alert? How to prove a negative? Outlook provides that lovely little notification about client unable to connect to to Exchange, often times it is something else causing this delay (locking the TCP stack). Of course, Exchange is fine. (this time). How to 'prove' or demonstrate that it is not Exchange, but is 'something else'. So that would cover client to Exchange monitoring. > > Regards, > Michael B. Smith Random thoughts on this general subject. On a more generic note. We've been running NetIQ AppManager for a few years now and are doing a proof of concept on SCOM starting next week. Things that we've learned with AppManager. Collect data, but don't collect everything. It will bog your repository down with to much stuff that you don't use. If your monitoring tools performance sucks, you won't use it much, so your team will wander and you will be caught by surprise when things go wrong. Planning for long term use of monitoring tools. Monitoring is a job and you will need a person who can dedicate some time for it if your environment is in the mid to large size. If you don't have the resources, tools will suffer from neglect. Find a balance on alerts. Over alerting turns alerts into noise which fades into the background and gets ignored. Followed by disaster and meetings about why you are ignoring alerts, followed by venting and hard feelings of team mates and managers. When first starting out with a monitoring solution, start with a realistic plan and time frame. Do NOT plan on implementing everything in a short period of time. Start with a base, solve the issues discovered, move to the next phase. If you have more then 20 servers, plan 6-12 months. Issues found may be simple, but planning, change notifications, downtime, etc must be worked around normal business needs so it ends up taking more time then individual issues would lead one to think. How does monitoring fit in with Microsoft Best Practices? How many people at smaller/medium shops even know how/where to find these best practices in their copious spare time? Well, back to work. Hope to get some hands on with SCOM this month. I plan on taking notes during the POC so if you want ping me in a week or two off list. Apologies for the ramble.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
MBS, First off, I am not a big fan of 'combined' style books unless the products are obviously intertwined (something which SCCOM and EXCH are not in my opinion) so I would have a hard time buying a book that by title is only 50% related to my environment.Combos like Exch ADSI or Exch PoSH or even Exch Outlook are much smaller in scope but to me would seem like better 'combined' topics. Rant aside, I like what this list provides. Information on a multitude of installations and management styles and a ton of good information on scripting and automation. I especially appreciate folks that link into their own (or others') blogs so I can read more info on the topic if I would like. One thing I wish we saw more is information on performance tuning and maintenance . So much of the time our discussions are reactionary on issues and problems and it would be nice to have folks post about cool stuff they are doing to AVOID breakage. I know performance tuning and setup info is available in other lists, and in whitepapers and all that, but I think topics and input from lots of people concerning everyday setup and tuning would be good info. Perhaps we all run a very out of the box setup and there isn't much tuning to talk about. (except for OOF suppression which we all talk about, but few it seems implement.) -troy From: Michael B.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
I would LOVE a complete installation guide. There are so many variables in the installation procedure and very little online documentation. A perfect book would talk about ALL of the prereqs, including the common stuff (you need 64 bit server) to the less common stuff (if you have trusted domains with Exchange, they need a 2003 DC).

It would cover entering the key, setting up certs, OWA, OMA, OAB, all of the little detailed steps. Then, it would cover properly decomissioning Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
Amen brother. A guide with clear, concise, step-by-step instructions I think would be welcome by most administrators. I have no less than 4 books on Exchange 2003 that I reference frequently because no one book covers everything effectively. This, and having to administrate 4 operating systems, voicemail, and phones (not to mention, "other duties as assigned") doesn't leave a great deal of time for sifting through mountains of obscure documentation.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
> First off, I am not a big fan of ‘combined’ style books unless the > products are obviously intertwined (something which SCCOM and EXCH are > not in my opinion) I wholeheartedly agree. It would be much better to see a title like "Exchange: Best Practices for Operations and Monitoring." Operations = Common and esoteric business needs. Monitoring = finding and solving problems, and increasing performance and availability. Possibly (due to size) this would be two volumes, one for operations, one for monitoring. If it's easily found in the documentation it probably doesn't belong. This should focus on clarifying best practice and solving business need. This book would cover Exchange in the current 2007 SP1 version and also outline and note differences back to possibly 5.5 (still widely in use thankfully not here :). The best practices part would pertain to real world operations in small, medium, and large (and possibly ISP if anyone's that crazy) size organizations. These best practices would include programs like SCCOM and other competing products of that nature, homegrown programs in C#/VB.Net that utilize various related messaging APIs, and scripts (in cmd, power shell, vbs, Perl, iron Python, SysInternals tools, etc...) that utilize APIs or interact with the filesystem. I would fully expect that Spam/Malware fighting methods and proper architecture represent a third of the content.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
Please place my pre-order for this book! -Original Message- From: Jason Gurtz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 4:17 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: What would YOU want to know? > First off, I am not a big fan of ‘combined’ style books unless the > products are obviously intertwined (something which SCCOM and EXCH are > not in my opinion) I wholeheartedly agree. It would be much better to see a title like "Exchange: Best Practices for Operations and Monitoring." Operations = Common and esoteric business needs. Monitoring = finding and solving problems, and increasing performance and availability. Possibly (due to size) this would be two volumes, one for operations, one for monitoring. If it's easily found in the documentation it probably doesn't belong. This should focus on clarifying best practice and solving business need. This book would cover Exchange in the current 2007 SP1 version and also outline and note differences back to possibly 5.5 (still widely in use thankfully not here :). The best practices part would pertain to real world operations in small, medium, and large (and possibly ISP if anyone's that crazy) size organizations. These best practices would include programs like SCCOM and other competing products of that nature, homegrown programs in C#/VB.Net that utilize various related messaging APIs, and scripts (in cmd, power shell, vbs, Perl, iron Python, SysInternals tools, etc...) that utilize APIs or interact with the filesystem. I would fully expect that Spam/Malware fighting methods and proper architecture represent a third of the content. This would include extensive discussion on DNS related items, not only in relation to blocking the bad stuff, but also with a strong focus on site reputation and deliverability. Obviously, there would be talk of the edge transport role in EX2k7, but a serious book would also talk extensively about third party solutions (both commercial and open source).

Typical moron PHBs :) Maybe they are looking for a SBS/Ex/SCE book? Your market is individual system administrators and trainers, NOT a business or its management! What are they even thinking; a small business usually can't even afford a full time sysadmin let alone a training budget!? I would say a better approach is by topic but with relevant notes that cover the various size installations. For example, at a small installation (w/no full time sysadmin) it's probably best to have all the external mail go through a managed service such as postini. Obviously this becomes prohibitively expensive and inflexible at larger sites. Sizes at perhaps this many users: <20 w/no admin, 50-500/1000 w/full time staff wearing many hats, >500/1000 w/dedicated messaging personnel. Time to find a different publisher? ~JasonG -- ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
RE: What would YOU want to know?
Our environment is small, but pretty complex for its size. We have about 100 Exchange users in three facilities, each with its own domain and Exchange 2000 server. (We're a graphics house saddled with large customer attachments and slow internet connections) I suppose I'm not really qualified to be a publisher, but that logic seems backward to me. Small businesses might have simpler environments, but we've also got a lot less staff, for example, my staff is me. I think small businesses need more resources, since they're unlikely to have an expert available. We buy a lot of books and find it's a lot cheaper (albeit spottier) than classes or long-term support contracts. Plus a high quality book is worth its weight in gold when it's 3AM on Friday and the class was 2 years ago. Then again, it seems like every IT book is $60, whether it has 100 pages or 1000.

Asking for clarification: What size environment? I presented a plan for something like that to two different publishers, including sections on "small", "medium" and "large" environments; but it was shot down. The feeling from the publishers was that small businesses wouldn't want to spend the money on a book that covered so much material that didn't apply to them. And vice versa - big companies would consider the space spent on small companies a waste. (And yes, when I do a design and install I work from my own set of notes and URLs.

There are so many variables in the installation procedure and very little online documentation. A perfect book would talk about ALL of the prereqs, including the common stuff (you need 64 bit server) to the less common stuff (if you have trusted domains with Exchange, they need a 2003 DC). It would cover all of the setup.com switches and what each one does in detail, then the install procedure, what the roles are and what a particular install will need. It would cover entering the key, setting up certs, OWA, OMA, OAB, all of the little detailed steps. Then, it would cover properly decomissioning Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers. After a couple weeks of learning and quite a bit of struggling, I finally ran out of time and called in a consultant for our first E2007 install.

RE: What would YOU want to know?
Good morning Michael: As one of your other respondents noted, Exchange 2007 is such a big animal, I don't think you could combine it with anything else (other than all the bits and pieces of Exchange 2007) and do either subject justice. Beyond that, I would like to see a section on performance counters, and not just a rehash of what is published with regards to server counters. I want to see real world setups and the resultant traces. The only thing Microsoft publishes is OS based RAID arrays and that's not what goes on in the real world. Along with perf-counters, I would also like to see a section on the process internals of the product; i.e. play mister message and go from the input SMTP process all the way through the server and out to another server, and out to a local delivery mailbox.
