I need to brag
J Both BES5 & EX07 are virtualized (Hyper-V) and I only restart once a month to
apply updates. Around
200 users.
Other than that – set it and forget it.

2 BES 4.1.6 servers on oldish blades w/mixture of e2k3 and e2k7 - 1756 users on
one, 1757 on the other. Restarts for patches, data center or Exchange problems
and try to restart every couple of months as the creeping crud builds up.
About to start planning migration to BES 5 on ESX VMs - probably with 3 servers
plus BAS, Monitoring etc.

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

I should have mentioned we have about 200 users, exchange 2003,BES 5 MR 2,
virtualized on ESX. 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.

We have less than 30 BES users so only on patches and updates…oh yeah also when
our APC triggers a shutdown due to a sucky power grid “Can’t fight city hall”.
If you have a few hundred users, I could see moving the BES to a real server
with ECC maybe 15k drives.

Used to do daily restarts. 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.

other than updates and patches. I've recently had to restart twice in June to
correct mail delivery issues.
