Yes, currently four mailbox servers and six CAS/HT servers, working towards
a few thousand mailboxes to be migrated in the next few weeks.  All running
on ESX 3.5.

You should get new Dell server guys if they can't quantify that statement.
A properly configured VM running on a properly configured ESX server (can't
speak for Hyper-V) and properly sized should see no noticeable performance
hit.  Just as in the physical world you gotta make sure you understand your
current environment and size accordingly, with emphasize on storage and
memory.

There are at least a couple of whitepapers on Exchange 2007 performance on
ESX; HP and maybe Dell.  I would say take a look at those, test in your
environment with your type of workload and use that data to make your
decision.

Per MS it's not supported, unless someone knows of a newer document:
Neither Exchange 2007 nor Exchange 2007 SP1 is supported in production in a 
virtual environment

-Also-

2007 and Exchange 2007 SP1 are also not supported in production in a virtual 
environment using virtualization software that is not Microsoft software. For 
details about the Microsoft support policy for third-party virtualization 
software, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 897615, Support policy for 
Microsoft software running in non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.

However, from the same article: The first 64-bit guest support is expected to 
be included with Hypervisor, which is an add-in for Windows Server 2008 from 
Microsoft that is scheduled to ship within 180 days of Windows Server 2008

Soif you virtualize Exchange 2007...what other systems would you run
on the same ESX hosts, does it matter? My understanding Exchange 2K7 is
recommended to sit on a GC designated domain controller (so it has quick
access to the global catalog), but would it sit on the same box as say,
an SMS,  WSUS, or SQL server? Anything you WOULDN'T have it share a host

And if they don't, they darned well should, instead of acting like the
local bully.

Suggestion to Microsoft:  Don't even think of throwing money purchasing
Yahoo, but instead spend a fraction of that on a bunch of ESX servers
and training your support personnel to support ALL users of Microsoft
products, whether they are run on bare metal, under VMWare, Zen, KVM, or
whatever.

As long as your backend storage is good, I don't see you will have any
problems, just make sure you follow the best practice guidelines that
are out there.

 

Exchange 2007 is a great candidate for virtualisation especially as it
need less IO than Exchange 2003. From experience we haven't seen any
performance problems, either over Iscsi or NFS storage.

I see the same thing regardless of if I log in with my Domain Admin
account, or my regular user account...

Are you logged in as the same guy that access's email? I ask because the
public folders will show only what your system login identity allows.

 

Example: I am super guy with my SuperNikki login.

- I log into my XP machine

- Open LittleJill's account in Outlook to help for
something.

- Even though I am opening Outlook/Exchange as
LittleJill, I still see EVERY public folder that XP SuperNikki has
access to.

- If I had logged onto the XP machine as LittleJill, I
would only see what LittleJill has permissions to.

Yes.  I can see a lot of other folders...

 

And there are other users that can see the folders I can't see in
Outlook just fine.  That's what boggles me.

I can see and access them fine in OWA.  Permissions look great.  These

I have an Olk 03 and 07 profile, each on different machines.  Neither

I like to see supported as a grey area.

They will answer your call, and they will help you. [1] It is up to them at 
which time they say  we cannot support your setup, you need to install this on 
supported hardware before we can go further I have yet to hear Microsoft say 
that on a call that I have made to PSS. It is a gamble. In some environments 
you cannot do that, in others you can. It is up to company to decide to roll 
those dice based on their needs and perceived benefits from the unsupported 
configuration.

unsupported means not tested, or that will not work. It is up the support 
staff to figure that out where that line should be drawn.


[1] they being Microsoft.

Our gateway based filtering/AV system should be able to do it - it's
policy based and can create exceptions for almost anything, but we'd
tell 'em to use our Secure Messenger system instead - it would be
encrypted all the way then they wouldn't have to password it but could
if they still wanted to.

 

Am not aware of one that runs on Exchange that can do that.

The specific case that got me thinking about this is a remote office E2K server 
with rather low disk space, on which the logs were accumulating in the mdbdata 
directory. The backup job had hung waiting for a tape the local person had not 
loaded, and there were an extra gig or so of log files.  I just checked it 
again, and now it's back to normal level of free space and only a few log 
files.  I didn't see any events in the applog other than an ESE 215 error that 
showed when I canceled the backup job, and the usual ESE 7xx events re. online 
defrags.  Maybe I could turn up some logging to get more insight into tran log 
commitments?

Thanks for this excellent explanation - I'm saving it.

Have a nice weekend.

To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues
Subject: RE: Committing transaction logs
A concise explanation? Hrmmm.

Well, first, doing a backup does NOT force logs to be committed. It means that 
the backup process waits until a checkpoint occurs, flushes the current 
transaction log, and during the backup additional checkpoints are not allowed 
to occur (that is, nothing is allowed to be flushed to the ESE database until 
after the backup is complete – leading to an increasing checkpoint depth, and 
in extreme situations, checkpoint exhaustion – but that is another discussion 
altogether). The ESE buffers are not flushed.

So…data is written, in a serialized fashion, to the in-memory ESE cache and to 
the log buffers, as updates occur in an Exchange database. Logs are written to 
disk as logs fill up, or as checkpoints occur. (This may mean that a log can 
have nothing but a checkpoint record in it – but that is not the normal case.) 
In the ESE buffers, I/O is accumulated and prioritized by a process known as 
the “lazy writer”. The lazy writer scans the ESE buffers for dirty (modified) 
pages and builds an optimized list to flush those to disk. As that list is 
flushed to disk, the pages are marked as “clean”, and the checkpoint is marked 
as having advanced (on a transaction by transaction basis, not a log by log 
basis). Whenever the transaction in a log are fully advanced, then the 
checkpoint file and the database header are updated.

During a backup, the lazy writer is paused.

The ONLY time you are assured that logs are fully committed is during clean 
shutdown, or after running soft recovery.

So…what is the problem you are trying to address or question you are trying to 
answer? I might be of more help if I know that.

RE: calendar details not showing for conference rooms

2008-04-29 Thread Cicerrella, Steve
Hi Glenn,

Not entirely sure of your particulars but I just encountered a similar
problem.  The conf rooms are set to auto book meetings in the calendar
but the meetings were not showing up in the calendar.  Many people just
invite the room as a required or optional attendee.  Unless the inviter
adds the room as a resource it will not be reflected in the calendar of
that conf room.  


From this page on outlook direct booking...
http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.asp


The clients must book all appointments with a specific Outlook
technique: On the Attendee Availability tab of a meeting request, click
Invite Others to add one or more resources to the Resources box. Make
sure you add them as resources. If you add them as required or optional
attendees, the resources will not be automatically booked.

Hope that helps.

cannot see the calendar details to see who's occupying the room.  I can,
but I have adminrights to the conference rooms.  I'm looking at the
flags with the set-mailboxcalendarsettings cmdlet, but can't seem to
find any that would allow me to show details.  The removeprivateproperty

RE: BLackBerry

That's an interesting thought.  I'd not considered that possibility.

The only limit to the contact list that I am aware of is the amount of
memory left after the OS, Email, Memos, Tasks, etc.

 

That said, is it possible that the BB is running out of device memory
and creating a second folder on the micro-SD chip?  (Assuming you have
one installed)

I have a client with a special issue his outlook has over 18000 contacts
in the database

And when the BlackBerry 8800 updates to re sync it splits the contacts
up into two folders 

Is there a size limitation on the blackberry ??  I sure have not been
able to find anything on Google or RIM web site regarding this issue
hope someone out there has seen this ??

RE: calendar details not showing for conference rooms

2008-04-29 Thread Glenn Vidad
Thanks Steve,

Forgot to mention outlook 2007 is being used as well - not sure if that makes a 
difference.  The only way I was able to get the user(s) to see the details 
(who's got it booked) for said conference room was to give them FullAccess to 
the mailbox.  I don't want to do that, but if that's the only way.

Subject: RE: calendar details not showing for conference rooms

Hi Glenn,

Not entirely sure of your particulars but I just encountered a similar
problem.  The conf rooms are set to auto book meetings in the calendar
but the meetings were not showing up in the calendar.  Many people just
invite the room as a required or optional attendee.  Unless the inviter
adds the room as a resource it will not be reflected in the calendar of
that conf room.


From this page on outlook direct booking...
http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.asp


The clients must book all appointments with a specific Outlook
technique: On the Attendee Availability tab of a meeting request, click
Invite Others to add one or more resources to the Resources box. Make
sure you add them as resources. If you add them as required or optional
attendees, the resources will not be automatically booked.

Hope that helps.

Exchange 2007 SP1

Hi All,

Conference rooms were created using the EMC, and the AutoAccept flag was
pushed using the EMS.  When a user tries to book a conference room, they
cannot see the calendar details to see who's occupying the room.  I can,
but I have adminrights to the conference rooms.  I'm looking at the
flags with the set-mailboxcalendarsettings cmdlet, but can't seem to
find any that would allow me to show details.  The removeprivateproperty
flag looks promising but it's already set to true.  Can this be done.

I don't recall in e2k3 I needed to do anything special but that was a
while back.

Glenn

Exmon for Exchange 2007?

2008-04-29 Thread Alex Fontana
Was able to get some exmon traces from an Exchange 2007 box but I'm unable
to open them.  I can't find any info and Exmon documentation only states
requires Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 SP1 and later.

Does anyone know if it's supported or have had success?

Thanks,
