I'm connected from home at a 21,600KBps dial up right now, connected to an exchange server 3800km away.
The mailboxes are not moving through your connection at home. I would assume the exchange servers that you move the mailboxes between are on the LAN together. William I also don't watch basketball. I was, however, watching play-by-play online of Mario winning the Milan-San Remo. -----Original Message----- From: Rowell, John (AFIT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 10:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware You live in the USA, I live in Italy. You have a fast connection from home, I do not. You watch basketball, I watch soccer. :-) You do it your way, I do it mine! Your mailboxes take little time to move (it seems), mine would take in excess of 1 day. > -----Original Message----- > From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 03 April 2002 11:39 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware > > > Overtime? > > You lean over to your laptop on the coffee table at home > connected over the VPN or TS session and select a block of > mailboxes and select move mailbox and return to the NCAA > basketball game or whatever.
