The Exchange guys tell me the single best thing you can do to tune your Exchange deployment is run ExBPA, and listen to what it has to tell you. It will make recommendations like the ones you suggest below and countless other settings you might never think of.
The added bonus is that it also finds potential problems before they are serious problems. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 8:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Performance Tunning and Security settings for Exc hange 2003 running on Windows 2003 server Nice thing about Exchange is that it is largely self-tuning for mainstream implementations. For large density/high-volume implementations there are some tweaks and best practices you'll want to follow. Most of them are documented in the best practices and troubleshooting guides: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library One of the suggestions you're missing (off the top of my head) is how you intend to handle storage. One of the biggest and easiest performance boosts can be realized with proper storage integration. Details are dependent on what type of storage you intend to use. al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manjeet Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 7:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Performance Tunning and Security settings for Exchange 2003 running on Windows 2003 server Hi, I want to do the Performance Tunning and Security settings for Exchange 2003 running on Windows 2003 so could you please tell me the what seetings cab be done to achieve the best performance. Like the below. 1. The boot.ini file should have /3 GB and /USERVA=3030 switches for better performance. 2. "HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThreshold" registry setting for better performance. 3. Pagefile of Serevr should be set one & half times the size of physical memory present in server. Thanks, Manjeet __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
