I was involved in a 25,000+ user rollout on 5.5 ... typically, the difference lay in the use and function of servers (e.g. dedicated bridgeheads for X400 and SMTP traffic) .... other elements to consider were working within the constraints of the NT4.0 domain model and how this might impact overall WAN performance/impact on Exchange.. i.e. unsuitability of single domain model)
Others depend on how they deploy... they may have a requirement for clustering/server farms experience, so the assumption being is that an individual with 20,000 user design experience would be familiar with it... also backup/disaster recovery would be an interesting consideration. Having said all that, there's hardly a world of difference between an Exchange admin who has to manage 7,500 users versus one who manages 25,000.

The job would be as a Exchange Admin. , part of a team. They said I have all the qualifications except no 20,000 environment experience. Even though over the past 5 years I have had experience at sites ranging from say a few hundred to 7,000, it seems its 20,000 experience or nothing. I was curious as to how many here have experience with 20,000+ and what is the real difference between say 5,000 and 20,000 except for more servers, more connections and more users, hence more calls? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
