I regularly inform the Exchange team of problems with Exchange, they always tell me to restart BES. It's never a BES issue.
I've been pushing for BES5 but so far no luck. I use two NICs, teamed on different switches for redundancy.

Our BES tends to be one of the most stable servers I support. I bounced ours around 2 months ago, and that was only to patch it up. I think the uptime at that point was a year? maybe. This is on BES4 - we're going to 5 soon and I hope the stability continues.

Only when patches are required or there is some big error / problem. If you have planned reboots of your BES because of problems start to drum up then you have a systematic / architecture flaw that needs to be addressed. BES isn't an application that needs reboots to "clear it up". And to hopefully end the discussion on "how many users do you put on a BES on ESX?" I've had 4000 users on a single BES. You can pretty much put any app on ESX ... the reason vendors don't want to support applications on virtual servers is because server admins / engineers / architects don't properly spec the resources required for the application. Baselining and benchmarking a server for 8 hours one day just doesn't cut it. Lucky for BES it isn't too taxing on Disk I/O which is without a doubt the single most improperly spec'd resource for a virtual environment. I'd also stay away from multiple nics; just isn't needed. Back to your regularly scheduled programming; Happy Friday. -----Original Message----- From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com<mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com> [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com<mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com>] On Behalf Of David Burns Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 12:42 PM To: glo...@aol.com<mailto:glo...@aol.com>; A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues, etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] How often do you restart your BES Curious...do you incorporate a second Intel NIC with ESX for BES or share at the 100 user level?
