Sounds sweet...I don't have the eggs to virtulize Exchange, but BES sounds like a possibility.

Hiccups occur about twice a month. We generate a lot of logs because i think there is an issue with how Dell Message One service is set up. I don't recommend using it by the way. Hopefully BES X will work with google apps soon as well, really waiting on that to come out for a sister organization.

If you have a few hundred users, I could see moving the BES to a real server with ECC maybe 15k drives.

MAPI was so flaky that if a GC went down, one of the messaging agents wouldn't reconnect properly. Restarting it fixed it, but only after I got lots of complaints. It was therefore easier to restart at 5am every day. Now though I'm only restarting for patches, and have got the Blackberry Monitoring service installed to watch for agent problems.

I've recently had to restart twice in June to correct mail delivery issues. _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list Bes-Admins@dataoutages.com<mailto:Bes-Admins@dataoutages.com> http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Bes-Admins mailing list is sponsored by Dataoutagenews.com. http://www.dataoutagenews.com
