RE: How to exmerge/export a mailbox > 2GB

[Level 5 Lists]

I did this on a bunch of 10+gb mailboxes on e2k3 by using Outlook 2010. I 
initially purchased 2 products that didn't get the job done (edb mounters) and 
then looked at ontrack which used to work and decided to just use outlook 2010 
for the 10 mboxes.

Subject: How to exmerge/export a mailbox > 2GB

Have an e-discovery request on a user that has an 8 GB mailbox (Exchange 2003). 
Can I use a Exchange 2007 CAS to export the mailbox to a pst. Or do I need a 
third party application.

All -

I understand that MSFT added the support of vMotion/Live Migration with 
Exchange 2010 SP1 based on the following article, under 'Hardware 
Virtualization'

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx


The question is: Has anyone successfully vMotion'd an MBX server? I've read 
instances where BES should be restarted after vMotion is complete, but curious 
to know if anyone has accomplished this with little to no impact to their 
environments.

Harry.

Re: Exchange 2010 Disk Configuration

[Harry Singh]

James,

Forgive the questions, but I'm at a medium-sized shop and am just trying to
put the pieces together.

How big are the 16 drives you have in, presumably, the 8 RAID-1 pairs ?

Each MBX server has 2 MSA70 SAS arrays directly attached via RAID10 via an
external SAS controller installed inside each MBX server, correct?

That setup just plain sounds really cool and really
intense... technically speaking. Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking about budgeting for something similar to the MSA70 for a
document management project upcoming for 2012.

RE: Exchange 2010 Disk Configuration

[Rupprecht, James R]

70,000 seats (soon to be 80,000). 2G quota
2 HUB, 5 CAS, 9 MBX all physical
3 replicas, one will move off-site in the next six months
Netscaler HLB for CAS systems
MBX servers are HP DL380 G6, 72G ram
MBX servers have 16 internal 2.5 SAS drives for boot, swap, utility and 
transaction logs. Disks run in mirrored pairs
MBX servers each have 2 HP MSA70 2.5 SAS fully-populated arrays attached 
RAID10. Current drives are 600G. Future expansion will happen by replacing 
drives with larger capacity spindles and adding up to 1 additional MSA70 if 
needed.
Backup hourly using DPM 2010 to DAS. In this case the disks are 2T SATA 
spindles. 
Weekly full backup from DPM to spectralogic tape robot.

Our entire E2010 infrastructure (not including the robot which handles backup 
for many other systems) cost less than half of what a single 240 disk SAN frame 
would have cost.

MS says their SAS failure rates are about 2 1/2 percent a year... this is about 
what we are seeing too.

We're virtualizing the CAS/HUB combos, but our Mailbox servers, the way
we've got them configured are too big.

RE: Outlook Social Connector

[Young, Darren]

I'm personally using it with Facebook and LinkedIn as well in Outlook 2010. We 
have perhaps 30 GAL photos in AD at this point. Overall I like it, the Facebook 
part is so so, it's at least aware of the FB privacy settings. Not 100% sure I 
like seeing some people's faces when they email me though.

Interesting thing I've discovered: there are lots of people that use work email 
addresses on Facebook. Someone outside our department installed the connector 
on 2010 then called us up asking why other people can see their Facebook posts 
from Outlook. Well, YOU'RE the one that used your work email on FB..

Then, like this email list, it's showing Chris M., Systems Analyst at Sam 
Houston State University in the social connector pane via LinkedIn.

There are also times when someone emails me and they have zero FB settings 
Outlook slows down trying to pull in all their wall posts. I'm wondering if we 
should find a way to only allow the connector to show GAL photos and not allow 
connections to FB, LinkedIn, etc.

Doesn't surprise me.  One of my guys called me to say that my photo was showing 
against an email from someone else.  Hooked up to his PC and sure enough it 
was.  Closed Outlook and went back in, right photo displayed.

I think my "concern" with the social connector is that for 2007 it may be a 
sledgehammer to crack a walnut, but I really like the GAL photo concept as it's 
such a simple way to actually know who's emailing you within your business 
(names to faces and all that)

I wondered if anyone is using the Outlook Social Connector and if you can share 
any problems/pitfalls/issues to be aware of?

I'm considering installing it simply so that Outlook 2007 will work with GAL 
photos stored in Active Directory.

It looks like Microsoft make a GPO .adm file specifically for it that lets you 
lock it down, but I'd still appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have 
gone down a similar route.

Thanks,

They needed fast expensive disk with Exchange 2003 and SQL 2005 and now with 
Exchange 2010 and SQL 2008 (and cheap memory) - they don't need fast expensive 
disk anymore.

They also back up to DAS. We put in 12TB Windows Storage Servers with DPM 2010. 
Works very well.

Michael, do you have any customers that have implemented DAS when they own a

Right now, we're questioning how we'd back up the DAS environment if we went 
that direction.

Thx in advance

Greetings Gurus,

We currently have 400GB worth of data on our Exchange 2007 setup.  From what 
I've read, we can expect that to double or triple when we move to Exchange 2010 
and lose single instance storage.

What type of disk configuration are you using for 2010?  Local disks or a SAN?

Re: Exchange 2010 Disk Configuration

[Harry Singh]

Out of curiosity, to those who already have large investments in their SAN,
why are you choosing the DAS route ?

Backup Exec and IMG folders

[Steve Hart]

We're using Backup Exec 11D to backup our Exchange 2007 servers.  We're running 
low on disk space in our backup store, so I'm looking at what I can delete.

In addition to the .bkf files, I'm seeing folders called IMG01 - IMG22. 
It looks like the system is creating one of these with each daily backup. They 
seem to contain all of the daily log files and copies of the Exchange 
databases. It doesn't seem that these are being deleted, as our retention 
policy is set for 14 days, and we have them back over a month.

Is anyone familiar enough with Backup Exec and the Exchange agents to tell me 
what these are and if we can safely delete the old ones?

Steve

RE: Outlook Social Connector

[Paul Hutchings]

Doesn't surprise me.  One of my guys called me to say that my photo was showing 
against an email from someone else.  Hooked up to his PC and sure enough it 
was.  Closed Outlook and went back in, right photo displayed.

I think my "concern" with the social connector is that for 2007 it may be a 
sledgehammer to crack a walnut, but I really like the GAL photo concept as it's 
such a simple way to actually know who's emailing you within your business 
(names to faces and all that)

RE: Outlook Social Connector

[Young, Darren]

We've had "strangeness" with Outlook 2010 when it's in cached mode. Seems to 
take days sometimes for the client to get the photo.

I wondered if anyone is using the Outlook Social Connector and if you can share 
any problems/pitfalls/issues to be aware of?

I'm considering installing it simply so that Outlook 2007 will work with GAL 
photos stored in Active Directory.

It looks like Microsoft make a GPO .adm file specifically for it that lets you 
lock it down, but I'd still appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have 
gone down a similar route.

Thanks,
Paul

RE: Exchange 2010 Disk Configuration

[Paul Hutchings]

I've just moved our last mailbox from 2003 to 2010.  On our 2003 server we were 
using 410gb of disk space, on the new one we're using 440gb.

We did have quite a long deleted item retention on the old server which won't 
yet have built up on the new box, so that's going to sway the numbers a bit, 
but equally the limits on the 2010 box are much more relaxed so I'd expect some 
growth.

Basically I was quite surprised by that as a bit like yourself I was half 
expecting something hideous in terms of space usage.

As for disks, run the sizer spreadsheet and see what it spits out.  2010 is an 
order of magnitude lower than 2003 and something like 90% lower IO than 2007 so 
unless you have a big environment, other than stuff like separating 
logs/databases there's little reason for huge fast arrays.

Greetings Gurus,

We currently have 400GB worth of data on our Exchange 2007 setup.  From what 
I've read, we can expect that to double or triple when we move to Exchange 2010 
and lose single instance storage.

What type of disk configuration are you using for 2010?  Local disks or a SAN?

Thanks,

RE: Exchange 2010 Disk Configuration

[Michael B. Smith]

That amount that the data will grow is almost completely based on your SIS. 
I've seen between 20% and 50%. I won't say that 200% or 300% is impossible - 
but I'd say it's atypical.

The only clients I have that are using SAN already have a large SAN investment. 
New deployments have been DAS, almost exclusively.
