*Antivirus: You're on good track. *OWA: If they need it, let'em have it. Great for access from home, or roaming users. And yes, put it on a separate box. *Backup: Use NTBACKUP for now. It'll work just fine. When you actually migrate the 15000+ users to Exchange, you may want to look at other units/sw that can provide you more features (if you need them that is). BackupExec or CommVault is what you'd want. *Outsourcing: Do you really want Hanjish people running your Exchange?
S. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Done [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 12:09 PM 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.
