You might want to get your buyers club card from O'Reliy and Associates (www.ora.com) and get familiar with *nix.
You could always suggest that instead of running Notes, go all the way back to Netscape mail server, or ISOCOR's X.400 mixer and mailbox server. John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Smith Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 3:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Trying to keep Exchange (et al) in our org All, Our corporate standards include an NT4 domain and Exchange 5.5 (and has for several years now). We have 13 plants located in various countries around the world. Our corporate HQ (located in Finland) has hired a new IS director who has given us a directive that, in lieu of the anticipated AD/Win2K/E2K rollout, we will be changing our backend infrastructure to novell e-directory/lotus notes/linux servers! Now, I am as open-minded as the next guy about the prospect of padding my resume with all sorts of new applications, but that seems a bit drastic. Apparently, it all comes down to money. Besides, I love my E55sp4 server; it NEVER gives me any problems. Has anyone else experienced this? Which would be more painful short-term? long-term?: the AD/Win2K/E2K or Novell/Lotus/Linux? I get the impression that this is a knee-jerk reaction to Microsoft licensing costs. Any thoughts, experiences, or warnings concerning this migration would be appreciated.
