Not if you have invested in Remote Management cards. For Compaq servers this would be the following :-http://www.compaq.com/manage/remote-lightsout.html. It does bump the cost per server up a little, but compare this to the over-time costs of having to pay someone else to baby-sit your servers o

You won't see the mailbox in ESM until it has been logged onto or has rec'd mail. You'll need a Recipient Update Service configured for each domain with mail-enabled users. Also were all GCs rebooted after promoting to GC status so that Outlook can use the NSPI proxy? & ensure the Infrastructu
