Re: Exchange 2010 DAG move to new storage

2013-02-05 Thread Doug Hampshire
Test it. Create a new, very small DAG. Create a mailbox. Perform the move
as outlined. See if the test DAG/mailbox are still happy, happy. If so,
then team will be convinced, no?

 Then I think you are doing it the hard way.

 Move the mailbox databases, DISMOUNT (or stop MSExchangeIS) on the
 passive server, mount both the new storage and the old storage at the same
 time, copy from old to new, remove the old storage, remap the new storage
 to the proper drive letters (or mount point), start MSExchangeIS.

 Of course, as always, I would suggest you have a good backup “just in
 case”. But this process is pretty well-defined IMO.

 The main thing is to get the databases on the new SAN.

 The virtualization can wait; it was suggested to do them both at once,
 but it's not required.

 *yet*

  

 Thanks Michael!

 So you are actually trying to do two things at once?

  

 [1] Move your mailbox servers to virtual,

 [2] Move your mailbox server storage to “new storage”?

 *Subject:* Exchange 2010 DAG move to new storage

   

 I have an Exchange 2010 DAG with 2 mailbox servers and 2 CAS servers.

 The CAS servers are already virtual.

  

 I need to move the databases to our new SAN.

  

 The problem is that the mailbox servers are physical, with two fiber
 connections.

 I do have the option of adding a third mailbox server (virtual).

  

 The plan so far, would be to bring up the third mailbox server, add it to
 the DAG, add mailbox copies.

  

 Take one physical server, mark the databases passive, remove the
 databases, remove it from the DAG.

 P2V it, bring it back up, add it back to the DAG, add mailbox copies to
 it on the new storage.

  

 Rinse and repeat for the third server.

  

 Will that work?
 Am I going about it bass-ackwards?

  

 Is there an easier way?

  

 Thanks!

 Candee

Re: Strip CC: addresses from email

2012-08-29 Thread Doug Hampshire
There are seldom good technology solutions for management problems.

Here's an idea, sales weasels work out of a CRM system. Even a very simple
system, could solve the issue. Oh, and they could actually do stuff like
reporting and metrics. Cool huh?

 Hello!

 (again)

  

 I have a user that wants any additional TO: or CC: addresses stripped
 from email designated for a specific mailbox.

 Exchange 2010, all patched.

  

 So, this mailbox is say, sa...@here.com .

 Is there a way to strip any extraneous addresses from email coming to
 that mailbox? so that the email only goes there?

  

 I've been using my google-fu, but the force is not as strong as usual
 this morning.

 :)

 If I have to tell him no, that's okay, too.

Re: Strip CC: addresses from email

2012-08-29 Thread Doug Hampshire
Well as a technology professional, part of our job is to listen to the
users, determine what they are REALLY asking for, and present a proposed
solution that resolves their issue. Quite often that solution is not the
solution the user proposed.

It's the 80/20 rule. 80% of users are idiots..the other 20% are morons.
