Outlook Profiles
Hi All, My company want to set up roaming profiles for Outlook only (Using Exchange 5.5 SP4). I believe that the only options we actually have are OWA and full NT roaming profiles but both of these solutions are not really acceptable in this case. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve a roaming profile for Outlook only? BTW, manually setting profiles is also unacceptable as there are 600+ users. Thanks for any suggestions Colin Maynard List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Outlook Profiles
Clients are NT/2000 with the exception of a few ;-). I am not familiar with profgen. Will it prompt for users to log in to Exchange on startup of Outlook and then create their profile on the local machine? If this is the case then how do I get my sticky fingers on it?

RE: Outlook Profiles
I am pretty sure this is not an option. Even if there were enough disk space on the server it would involve reconfiguring all the workstations, which brings us back to roaming profiles.

Preferred Disk Config
Title: SMTP mail to exchange help Hi All, I know that this question has been asked before so I apologise in advance but can't seem to find a solid answer anywhere. Here goes. What would be the ideal disk config for performance and reliability? Money is not an issue at this time. I am thinking: 2 x 9Gb RAID 1 for System 2 x 18Gb RAID 1 for transaction logs 3 x 36Gb RAID 5 for Info stores Please let me know if I have got it completely wrong as I need to recommend a solution soon and would rather get it right first time :-) TIA Colin List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

I'd agree with this config generally, assuming:
1. We're talking Exchange 5.5, or Exchange 2000 with a single storage
group.
2. The 72Gb available on the RAID5 set allows enough room to run the
database utilities should you need to
