I agree with you that it's a lot better to keep everything in exchange that's why I'm seriously pursuing the idea of getting an archiving solution.
In our current situation where we do not have the archiving solution, it's either we leave all the email messages on the server and probably at this point, we'd have users that would have 8GB mailboxes and probably the total size of the information store would be at the 250GB mark or archive the mail messages into smaller pst files and put them in a central location (NAS box). I still do have control since it's searchable, and I can run policies on it (using a 3rd party app) and users have stopped bugging us why their 3 GB mailboxes take forever to open up when they're dialing into our network on a 56Kbps line. It's far from ideal but it works for us right now and I'm looking forward to have a better solution. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 12:38 PM To: Exchange Discussions At the bare minimum, you've given up centralized administrative control, which IMO is a bad thing when it comes to regulatory compliance. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
