Well first off, AV isn't even an option anymore. It is a must have. As for OWA, if they want it, put it on a separate box. In your case, a PC would do just fine. Backup Server? You don't necessarily need one of those. But you should have a recovery box. Once again, for 35 users, a PC would do just fine. Outsourcing sucks
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Paul Done Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 9:09 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Report of MS Exchange "disaster" Hello All! I am writing a report to management about a disater we had on our Microsoft exchange server a couple of weeks ago. I am hoping you might provide me with horror stories and/or "best practice" in your shops. My operation is small (<=35) but would like to show success. If so we (15000+) may move off a 10 year old featureless UNIX. Among many things I am recommending for change follow: *Antivirus protection on the Exchange server - (DOH! -no we don't have it!) Would appreciate you suggestions/experience - I am looking at Sybari Antigen *Disabling OWA - only two people of 35 used it Good idea or not...? *Backup server A minimum configured backup server for rapid switch *Recommending against outsourced management of EX Looking for horror stories Thank you for your help. I am searching archives, but as you may know the good nature OT conversation proves a little thick to dig through.
