If you put all the payroll users on one store, you may get quite a good single instance ratio, and can set policies for those users, etc, which is good. However, if you have a problem with that store, you have the whole of payroll to contend with. We are also looking at 'users created/migrated this week go on store 1, next week on store 2, the week after on store 3, then back to store 1, etc' Regards, Rob Ellis Messaging Consultant Service Delivery Solutions & Programmes IBM Global Services DDI: 01256 752845 Mobile: 07974 111867 Fax: 01256 754899 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 2:06 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Storage Groups vs Mailbox Stores Mounting the first mailbox store in a storage group takes more resources that mounting additional stores in a single storage group. So, from a pure resources point of view, there may be some advantages to multiple stores in fewer storage groups. All other things being equal, I think I generally prefer it that way as well, although I personally don't have enough practical experience with disaster recovery under a multitude of scenarios with E2K (thank $deity), so there are some parts of the 'optimal' E2K design which are still a bit theoretical in my mind.
