Anyone know if it's possible to Append to a PST i.e. 1. Friday: Do an export to C:\PST\JoeSmith.pst 2. Tuesday do another export to the preexisting C:\PST\JoeSmith.pst and just append the delta info?

RE: HOSTED DNS with FAILOVER
Anyone had an experience with a hosted DNS provider with Failover? We are looking at using a 3rd part service like Zonedit.com so that if our main web presence goes offline we can have it automatically point to our failover server in another part of the country. There are a myriad of service out there but after looking at several options and lots of marketing hype but after speaking to multiple parties the only major difference seems to be price. Just curious if anyone has had a good or bad experience to share so that we can benefit from your hard earned wisdom. thanks Troy C.

I don’t have the VSS SDK installed, but that’s probably where I’d recommend looking next.

Does it have anything to do with active directory. a. For Offline Databases - No DigiScope does not need to utilize AD in any way to open an Offline Exchange database. You can actually open any offline database on as little as and XP, or Win7 desktop and if desired it can be completely disconnected from the network b. For the Production Exchange Server - you will need the appropriate credentials to authenticate to the Online Production Exchange Server so that data can be imported into each mailbox. We suggest that you setup a special user named DSAdmin and assign it the appropriate rights. You can read more about that here http://www.lucid8.com/download/documentation/DSWebHelp/DigiScopeHelp.htm 2. Do they need to be on the same domain. a. No they don't need to be on the same domain b. Although if the domains are separated by a WAN or other items that would be a bottleneck it will take longer to transfer the data. Therefore we suggest that you place a copy of the offline EDB close to the Production server in order to avoid any bottlenecks 3. Do they need some type of trust? a. Not really since we can handle cross domain authentication, but again best to have the data close to the destination in order to avoid bottleneck and throughput issues. b. DigiScope should definitely be on a machine where the offline EDB is available and then DigiScope can connect to any other production server that is accessible from that machine and if it's in another domain it will give you an authentication challenge to enter the appropriate credentials thanks On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 9:08 PM, Troy Werelius troy_werel...@lucid8.com wrote: 1.

You are correct on ExMerge and that is because it only supports ANSI PST's and they actually start to degrade at about 1.8GB so I would not go over that limit in order to ensure the data is recoverable 1.

RE: Exporting ALL mailbox content to PST?
No worries and Outlook will get everything EXCEPT for the items that are hard deleted and or in the dumpster so you may want to use Exmerge to subsidize the PSTs, i.e. do the main export via outlook and if memory serves I think you can tell ExMerge to JUST export dumpster items.

RE: exporting ALL mailboxes to PST's
Michael, would the DAG I/O issue you mention be a concern if you used a third party utility like Kroll PC or Lucid8's DigiScope (DS) to do the export? I would tend to think not if you ran DS from a member machine since it would extract the information over MAPI but thought I would check to ensure I am correct in my thinking since we have the ability to do exports of entire databases or large groups of mailboxes. Granted that we recommend that customer to do so from an offline version of the database in order to avoid any type of impact to production server and users but your comment about log shipping on DAGs made me wonder about the impact of doing a mass export against a live server even with a 3rd party product Thanks Troy C.

Export-mailbox/new-mailboxexportrequest are based on the new mailbox replication service which, according to my understanding, uses a direct-to-the-EDB technology. It's MUCH faster than the old methods used and therefore puts a correspondingly higher I/O load on a server. User-level MAPI is throttled in Exchange 2010, so you are correct - that would have less of an impact on a server. Without having funding to run performance tests, I have no clue as to what the total wall-clock difference might add up to be. That would be dependent on lots of factors, as I'm sure you are aware.

RE: Searching offline PSTs
100+ files sounds like you should look at an archiving system to ingest and index the data in order to get what you want. Our product DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp can load and search across multiple EDBs or PSTs at one time and even deduplicate the results but it doesn’t index the data so that during the next round you can find things faster. You know since its PST files you might take a look at X1 www.X1.com since they have a desktop client that I think can do this and they do create an index. Pretty inexpensive as well. Only negative thing I can say is that sometime the client blows up and I think it has to do with the indexing size, other than that its pretty cool. Again IMO if you are looking for some repeated search capability across 100+ large PSTs you should probably look at something that can ingest it into a SQL db to make it more efficient ** I suppose you could also inject the information into an Exchange DB with sub folders for each user and then use the Exchange search post indexing Troy C.

RE: Backup recommendations
Hey since everyone is talking about backup for Exchange 2010, we are about to release our new Exchange Protection Manager product and I thought I would take an informal poll to check on your opinions on the value of an Exchange backup product that is; * VSS Based Backups to Disk * Protects Exchange 2010 (DAGs as well) 2007 and 2003 Servers * Can recover at the database, mailbox, or individual item level (of any type and all from the VSS backup, i.e. no need for special backups) -- What would be a fair price Per Server, with no limits for number of mailboxes and no add on modules that cost you more etc? -- * Yeah I know FREE would be great, but sadly that doesn’t help you build new software and employ people :-) Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback Troy C.
