RE: Question on moving public folders vs replication

2011-05-11 Thread Ben Serebin 
Hello Todd,

I would do the move via 2010 using these powershell commands 
and make sure you read all the comments as well. Good luck.

Using ESM , click on Public folder instances all tasks change server. Would 
this be wrong?

In my planning for decommissioning the first Exchange 2003 server have come to 
what to do with Public Folders. Should I move the Public Folders to the 
replacement server or just replicate them.
Is one way better then the other?

RE: AppAssure Feedback?

2012-03-02 Thread Ben Serebin 
Hello Phil,

I like AppAssure's Replay since it's fast and easier to do 
restores than Backup Exec (previous solution I recommended). It's great for 
Exchange & SQL since it does application level checks on each backup. I have 
been using it a few years now and deployed it to a # of clients. One large 
deployment was 24 servers & tens of TBs and backups (aka snaps) worked 
throughout the day. One server had 7TB and we did a seed and then replicated 
over a 20Mb WAN connection. Once you get it working, it's pretty stable. It's a 
resource hog and needs a dedicated server or vm with a lot of memory and cpu. 
Off-site replication works well if you have a lot of bandwidth. Backups are 
perform a single full backup and then delta's and then merge the backups. As 
someone mentioned, the Dell take-over should be a good thing since this should 
improve the overall of the product. 2 major issues are support's lack of call 
queues. It's call back. In case of emergencies, they're pretty good (rapid call 
back) and software bugs (e.g. booting errors) which require upgrading the 
agents. Normally, I recommend running a stable version and sticking with it 
unless you have issues.

Our current backup/imaging solution no longer fits us, a full backup taking

AppAssure, good, bad or indifferent?

RE: Moving to 2010 - Spam filter options?

2012-03-02 Thread Ben Serebin 
Hello All,

I run and manage a # of Barracuda units (been a Barracuda 
partner since 2006) and would not recommend using the agent (too new & don’t 
believe in this approach). I would suggest you smtp relay mail via Barracuda 
for inbound and outbound scanning (it’ll also do spam scanning as well). For AV 
scanning, do it via your desktop AV agent when users click on a message. The 
end user based attack vector isn’t really attachments now, but URL based 
spyware end users click on.

Thanks Richard, my thinking is the same about Vipre on exchange.
It’s certainly weird that since our decision to finally move to 2010 and get 
spam filtering off the exchange box that Barracuda includes an agent to put it 
back on the mail server.
Not necessarily a bad thing but I will wait on that feature.
I am looking forward to everything about this upcoming “transition” and the 
Barracuda box.

I just heard about this feature, and asked the same question here a few days 
ago.

I am not running it, and from the silence after my list question, it doesn't 
seem like anyone else is either.

I'm curious about it, but am not going to use it unless it's truly ready for 
prime time.  I dropped Ninja/Vipre for Exchange when I moved to 2010 b/c that 
product is, IMHO, too flaky.

they now have an agent running on the exchange server that does just this.
Anyone running a barracuda have this version running?

I like my Barracuda very, very much.  It just flat works, and I only have to 
touch it to find something for someone, or figure out why a message didn't go 
through to an external recipient (we use it as our outbound gateway to take 
advantage of the backscatter prevention feature). I never have to touch it to 
fix anything.  I used to use Ninja, but only for A/V.

Anyone move from Sunbelt ninja on 2003 to GFI/whatevertheycallit 2010?

Anything else?

Storage calculator). If you're a MVP or Exchange expert, and want to present,

Managing EWS to improve performance

2012-04-25 Thread Ben Serebin 
Hello All,

On 2010 SP1, I’ve run into an issue with Exchange Web Services using up a lot 
of CPU. Reviewing the log files, the worst offenders are Apple Mail using EWS. 
I was considering changing the default throttling policy  of the following 3 
EWS Policies. Curious to get peoples thought on this and what they have done to 
address this?

EWSMaxConcurrency
EWSPercentTimeinCAS
EWSPercentTimeinMailboxRPC

Thanks,
-Ben
