It’s all about the number of items in the core folders, like Inbox, Sent Items, Calendar, etc, and also restricted views. In Exchange 2003, the recommendation was to keep the number of items in these folders 5,000. In Exchange 2007, the recommendation is not to exceed 20,000 items (as long as

You can use the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 script first to make sure all replicas aren't on the source server. Then use the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet. If that shows folders, you can't remove the PF database. If there are folders that contain data, you need to look at why these aren't

RE: Unread Messages - E2K7

2008-12-08 Thread Neil Hobson
The Exchange Profile Analyzer gives you unread message counts, but I don't think you can tie the counts to the owners of the mailbox (going from memory, I think each mailbox is given a unique number rather than tying it to the owner). Still, it would give you counts of unread messages.

disagree with the answer below, but if you do go for a commercial cert (for outside OWA for example) consider a wildcard cert and use it everywhere. Much more cost effective. 200 bucks or so from GoDaddy. -Original Message- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28

For just 20 users you can put the mailbox, HT and CAS roles all on a single server. I can't see the point of implementing a single mailbox server with two HT servers for redundancy since if the mailbox server dies it's game over until you get that sorted. Also, if you need high availability and

Regarding SCR, that's because it's a site resilience solution and not an HA solution. In my experience, most customers who want site resilience expect and understand that manual steps are required to get the system back up and running as they ultimately want to control when the failover occurs.
