RE: Very Remote Office
You may consider using a solution such as Citrix Metaframe instead. This would eliminate the need for multiple servers.

Our exchange server is here, and they vpn into our server and pull their mail (POP3). We are going to be upgrading to EXC2000 later this summer and at that time are thinking it would be nice to have them using all the exchange features (calander, task lists, etc,; not just pop mail. We have a couple of users over there now and they can connect to the Exchange server (5.5) using exchange services, but the Malaysia connection is ISDN 128K shared among 10 users and it is painfully slow. With EXC 2000 is it possible to setup an Exchange box over there that syncs to our box here, and if so would that give them the access to all our public folders, etc without the major lag.

RE: Very Remote Office
Bear in mind though that you will still have 10 users sharing a 128KB pipe to your office in Minnesota, no real difference to how they are working now. Also with Citrix the user is effectively using Outlook in Minnesota and will have no way access their emails locally or if the link goes down or the ability to access them offline on a laptop for instance. -Original Message- From: Bruce Fyfe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 May 2002 17:38 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Very Remote Office You may consider using a solution such as Citrix Metaframe instead.

RE: Very Remote Office
I wouldn't recommend using Citrix unless the demands off the Malaysian office are that they only want to access their email when they're at work, they don't mind if the link goes down and they cannot access their email and they don't want to work with if offline. You need to weigh up the pro's (existing knowledge of exchange, less traffic accessing email, ability to perform housework on your server without disrupting Malaysia) and con's (training on Citrix, cost of Citrix, user training, backup ISP, another application to troubleshoot etc etc), but based on what you've told us so far I would lean in favour of installing an Exchange 2K box out there. If you do decide to do this is would be worth that Exchange box having it's only IMS/IMC. -Original Message- From: Steve Ens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 May 2002 17:59 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Very Remote Office Yeah go with Citrix or TS.
