I'm really liking 2010 so far, it seems like they're slowly adding functionality back into the GUI which is nice.

PST's are indeed horrible. If the mail is valuable it should be kept in exchange. If it is not it should be deleted. PST's are a middle ground that always comes back to bite someone in the rear end.

Can you route your outbound mail through something like postini or whatever filters your inbound mail? Surely they'll trust postini.

I've never been able to get outlook working without being connected to the LAN for the first time either. VPN is an option if you can do that.

MrDoDo posted:I am curious about what peoples opinions are on backing up exchange 2010. Do you just using Windows Server Backup, a third party software solution, or can you simply just do a VSS copy of the data directory? I have seen a change from backup exec towards backups at a vmware or SAN level. It's nice. You don't get granular recovery anymore but the deleted item retention in exchange can be tweaked to get around that. If someone wants an email back they deleted 6 months ago they're out of luck but whatever.

I know at one time there was all those urban legend warnings going around about people being robbed due to OOO message and I guess concerns about spam finding a real address but what does everyone else do? I've never restricted this.

Can you do it through your spam filtering service instead? On postini or something that'd be easy.

That's weird, I've seen 80 mailboxes and about 150gb of mail run on exchange 2010 with 4gb of ram. The transaction latency was high enough to annoy BES until we upgraded to 8gb but certainly there were no eventlogs like that. Did you mess with anything during the server install? (Swap file sizes etc)

Mierdaan posted:Pretty sure he's talking about how (at least some versions of) Exchange don't create a mailbox until it receives some mail. I know 2000 used to do this, haven't noticed it being the case in 2007 anymore though. Ah. It seemed like he was implying that creating an AD account would somehow also create an exchange account.

Nebulis01 posted:You have a whitepaper or best practice for that? We run all our clients with caches mode disabled and I'd like to see the over/under on why turning it on is a good thing. In my experience it makes the client much more responsive. With so many exchange implementations going hosted it's pretty much required anyway, you don't want outlook in online mode over a WAN/internet link. I do turn off download shared folders sometimes, just so the user isn't caching every single calendar they've ever opened.

The hide from address list option in exchange management console (or users and computers if you're on 2003 still) works fine. The GAL can take a while to refresh on the server, then it can take a while longer for clients to download a fresh copy. Don't be surprised if the change takes a day or so to kick in.

Crackbone posted:A year, and I'm doing a 3 year minimum when I set this up. I'm glad you work somewhere sane, but unfortunately I don't. The trick is to not mention the sub-optimal solution in this case to anyone. It's either $150 for the UCC or deal with the annoying popup. Hacked BS would never exist if techs didn't make the mistake of mentioning it to the people with the money.

Lovie Unsmith posted:So I brought this up recently, but I was a bit mistaken about something. "$Company$ Contacts in Public Folders" is not usable like regular contacts in Outlook. How can we make that possible? The users would like to be able to have that list in their To: choices. This is for Exchange 2003. This time for Outlook clients, not just OWA. Go to the properties of the contact folder in your public folders and check the "Show this folder as an email address book" box.

How much mail are we talking about? Usually outlook will slow to a crawl due to the mailbox item count before exchange cares.

Can you uncheck the "Download shared folders" box in outlook where the other mailboxes are defined? I think that'll run any secondary mailbox in online mode.

Create a mailbox called shared calendar. Give those people rights to the calendar in the malbox. On their client, click open shared calendar in the calendar pane. It'll stick after that.

skipdogg posted:It takes them hours to even acknowledge there is an issue. I usually get "Wait 4 hours then try again" a few times before they eventually admit something is up.

Syano posted:No and I would never unless I had documentation on where all the references to the old server were located. Really... how hard is it just to install and uninstall instead of asking an internet forum if we think blowing away containers via ADSI is safe? How hard is it to reinstall and uninstall exchange 2003 in an environment with lingering exchange 2003 gremlins? Sounds like a recipe for pain and suffering to me. The adsiedit route is fine, microsoft even has instructions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833396 Usually these old 2003 servers (especially SBS environments) are so screwed up it's practically required.

I get what the article is saying, but re installing 2003 just isn't practical sometimes. (can you even do that in an environment with a 2007/2010 exchange server?) In my experience deleting the server object in ADSI Edit after you've migrated mailboxes and everything else from the old server has never caused any issues.

Get a signed cert, it makes outlook anywhere etc work more smoothly and also gives your OWA and Activesync users one less thing to complain about. They're cheap from godaddy.

Misogynist posted:Google Apps isn't remotely feature-complete compared to hosted Exchange, sadly. It's getting there, and it's probably good enough for a greenfield deployment, but it's not going to convert a ton of shops with existing hosted or on-premises Exchange. The support is also loving dreadful like with everything else Google ever does. My thought was more, if google apps is $5, are you really going to do better for less? Intermedia is pretty good but they start at $8, I'd be surprised if there was a decent hosted exchange provider that was able to undercut both gmail and 365.

Misogynist posted:
Remember the hosted vendors are applying the same patches, Exchange 2010 SP3 was rolled out recently at intermedia and caused a bunch of weird problems for people. I'm assuming office 365 does patching from time to time, they just don't tell the users, who usually find out when something breaks. The difference with an in house server is you have some control over when to patch, if your cloud vendor wants to patch right in the middle of your organizations busy season, tough luck. Network reliability is the big one. Assuming your anti spam is SaaS based somewhere and provides email continuity and caching, exchange will be just fine on an ethernet over copper or fiber connection with cable or T1 for backup. If your server is in a location where a connection with a real SLA is unavailable (cable or dsl only), running a mail server there probably isn't a good idea.

Calidus posted:Because I am lazy and I don't really know what I am doing when it comes to exchange, I got a quote for migrating 20 mailboxes from exchange 2007 to exchange 365. The quote was 30 hours of billable time(at $125/hour)? Is that reasonable? It seems kinda high to me. Do you have a pre-existing relationship with the vendor? Eg do they have access to your network and a reasonable idea of the state it's in. If not, that might explain it, they will have padded the estimate in case your AD and Exchange are horribly horribly broken. It's easier to give a higher initial estimate to allow for unknowns than go back later and say "but you really have 55 mailboxes and exchange 2003, we need more money". sanchez fucked around with this message at 00:33 on May 13, 2014 |
