RE: P2v - from a physical Dell server to a VMware virtual server

2010-05-13 Thread Michael B. Smith
A SAN, per se, doesn't enter into the equation. You have I/O requirements, CPU requirements, and memory requirements. How you meet those - Exchange doesn't care. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Leedy, Andy

SCR Failover questions

2010-05-13 Thread Paul Gordon
Peeps, I have an upcoming task to perform a DR test for a client whereby we intend to test the failover process of the SCC mailbox cluster to a standby server that is an SCR target for all the storage groups on that production server. I’m perfectly happy with the configuration monitoring of

Doesn't matter whether you delete it or not. Most people run with the default cert for SMTP and a SAN cert for everything else. If you run a Get-ExchangeCertificate, you need a W, and a S on valid certificates. The others (I, P) are secondary to the first two. I'm kinda at a loss. You might

The OEM software part will bite you in the a**. If your Windows version is OEM, don't P2V it. We P2V'd our original Exchange 2003 server. It worked fine. We also use a SAN so we were not disk bound by the ESX host. Since we are a SAN shop all our ESX hosts are pizza boxes with 2 disks in a RAID

I tried the management tools from a notebook and the test-exchangeconnectivity checks are successful. The Get-ExchangeCertificate on the server shows IP.WS on the SAN Cert, so I guess that's correct as well. When I try setting up Windows Mail in POP3 mode, I get the error: Account:
