And that is just the start. *OWA -Running it internally? Depends -do you have non-MS clients? My *nix and Mac users liked OWA. Travelling users liked it as well, as long as you secure it as much as possible before putting it in the DMZ. *Outsourcing -Think about it like this. When you are hosting inhouse, your job is on the line, you will be a lot more conscientious than a company that can shift blame when/if something goes wrong. You have more control over your environment, and you *know* exactly who has access to your box. Hope that helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -K.Borndale Network Administrator Sybari Software 631.630.8569 -direct dial 631.439.0689 -fax http://www.sybari.com "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" |--------+-----------------------------------> | | Paul Done | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: | | | bounce-exchange-148870@ls| | | .swynk.com | | | | | | | | | 10/24/2001 12:09 PM | | | Please respond to | | | "Exchange Discussions" | | | | |--------+-----------------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: | | 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.
