At MEC 99, I went to the panel discussion... I think the guy from Lucent was sitting on well over 100k seats as well. Hehehehe I really would hate to have to run that thing.
That was a rather humorous conference... they had a few hundred computers set up downstairs for people to check their e-mail, access the internet, and most importantly to show of Exchange 2k and all it's new toys. It also had this communist block display of server hardware running the back-end... the biggest pieces Dell, Compaq, EMC, and IBM had. On the last day I'm going down to check my mail and play around... only to find out... that their Exchange server went down. No clustering... no backups... HAHAHAHAHAAHHA. The admin for Chevron was standing next to me shaking his head and laughing. It took them a few hours to get things running again. With all the firepower, technology, and gurus... the Exchange server went down at the Microsoft Exchange Conference. -----Original Message----- From: Schwartz, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 10:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time Not sure, but I think Boeing or Texaco has the largest Exchange environment in the US. Well over 100K seats. Soon to blow all of those away is this one: http://www.microsoft.com/australia/presspass/news/pressreleases/microsoft+de livers+largest+exchange+2000+implementation+in+australia+to+the+nsw+departme nt+of+educat.asp Makes me feel lucky only to have 20K users. -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time So what is the biggest system out there? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 June 2002 15:28 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Poll time I'm not a big admin, I just play one on TV.

See who has the most people on the smallest boxes and who has the largest org. I used to take pride on my little single proc 200mhz w/mmx Compaq server that acted as the PDC, File Server, Exchange Server, Fax Server, SQL Server for 110 people. So what ya got out there? Exchange 2000 2 sites 700 users Quad 1ghz XEON 3 gigs of RAM at each site 12 gig store at one site and 8 gig store at the other Dell Shop (we've been having ALOT of RAID card failures... anyone else?)
