RE: Moving mailboxes to another server

2002-02-08 Thread Brien Mayer

WE have set backups up on the laptops. But you know when you leave it up to the user 
they don't have the time to wait. So what we have done is asked them to copy their 
.pst file to a zip disk or when they are in the office to copy it to a share on the 
server. This works great because OWA loads fast if you keep the information store 
small. Take it from me your helpdesk calls will increase with laptop users calling 
saying that they can't load OWA. Keep their exchange box small  let they pst grow. If 
they come in the office every now  then you can set the outlook desktop client up to 
sync so even if they are on the road they can access their old mail. This is just a 
nut shell of what I have done with exchange  remote users. I also included the Norton 
mobile client so there anti virus will be updated through e-mail. It go's on  on.

I had the same problem. Instead of moving the users pst file to the
exchange server, I imported them back into outlook  let the pst file
remain local on the pc. This solved several issues. 1) It kept the
information store(users mailbox) small which in turn helps load outlook
web faster. (If you import the users .pst file  they are large .pst
files it will take forever for the web client to load when they are on
the road) 2) It gave our users a chance to keep all their old mail 
move the mail they wanted  needed to view on the web to folders in the
information store  still have the web load fast.

Subject: Moving mailboxes to another server


Quick overview:
We have one domain controller and two member servers in the Forest; all
are running Server 2000 with Service pack 2 and latest security patches.
The Exchange Server has Norton 3.0 Anti Virus filters for the Exchange;
we are using Norton Corporate Edition 7.6 over the entire network, with
the client installed on all workstations. We have a 768 kbps DSL line
with a Linksys BEFVPN41 router plugged directly into our 24 port switch.
I setup DHCP on one of the servers due to having to disable the router's
DHCP in order to do the necessary port forwarding for the Exchange Mail
and Outlook Web Access ports on the Exchange Server.

Question:
We would like to move all data from Personal Folders in Outlook 2000
to the Exchange user mail boxes enabling their inbox, contacts,
calendar, to be visible on the OWA page. That brings up the issue of
drive storage space; is it possible to move the mail box/Pub stores over
to one of the network drives on our storage server without
reinstallation?


TIA,
Chris

RE: Moving mailboxes to another server

2002-02-08 Thread Brien Mayer

OK here it is in a nut shell!!
1) I have set up a GPO that specifies the users can't browse my network (no computers 
near me  no entire network) This worked great. I tested this  in no way was the user 
able to browse my network for computers or users.

2)In the same GPO I also specified that the users My Documents are to be redirected to 
a HIDDEN share on a server.
3) WE merged from SendMail to Exchange. Now they can browse the network through 
outlook. Heres how  how can I prevent this

open outlook go to VIEW  select Outlook Bar  Folder List.

On the Outlook Bar (Outlook shortcuts) click the  Other short cuts tab.

I see a folder with my logon name. If you do to click on it. 

This shows all of your MY Documents.

Now look at the Folder List scroll up  down. I see all my users  all computers on my 
network. 

Why is this  how can I prevent this?

Yes I was referring to the DC. I think I would spend the money on a new DC before I 
spent it on new hard drives for exchange.Thats why I gave him the solution I used. If 
you think about it it is not a bad one. All important mail remains on the server If 
you like to keep your sent mail for records then keep them in a pst. Who cares if you 
loose that crap or mail that is over a year old.

I had the same problem. Instead of moving the users pst file to the
exchange server, I imported them back into outlook  let the pst file
remain local on the pc. This solved several issues. 1) It kept the
information store(users mailbox) small which in turn helps load outlook
web faster. (If you import the users .pst file  they are large .pst
files it will take forever for the web client to load when they are on
the road) 2) It gave our users a chance to keep all their old mail 
move the mail they wanted  needed to view on the web to folders in the
information store  still have the web load fast.

Quick overview:
We have one domain controller and two member servers in the Forest; all
are running Server 2000 with Service pack 2 and latest security patches.
The Exchange Server has Norton 3.0 Anti Virus filters for the Exchange;
we are using Norton Corporate Edition 7.6 over the entire network, with
the client installed on all workstations. We have a 768 kbps DSL line
with a Linksys BEFVPN41 router plugged directly into our 24 port switch.
I setup DHCP on one of the servers due to having to disable the router's
DHCP in order to do the necessary port forwarding for the Exchange Mail
and Outlook Web Access ports on the Exchange Server.

Question:
We would like to move all data from Personal Folders in Outlook 2000
to the Exchange user mail boxes enabling their inbox, contacts,
calendar, to be visible on the OWA page. That brings up the issue of
drive storage space; is it possible to move the mail box/Pub stores over
to one of the network drives on our storage server without
reinstallation?


TIA,
Chris
