Exchange ===8<==============Original message text=============== I have done NT admin in both worlds, my last job was a notes shop, but decided to migrate to Exchange for email and leave Notes in place for groupware. Notes is a database server trying to be a messaging server. Exchange is a messaging server trying to be a database server. If you just want email use qmail with IMAP on the SUN box that you have. If you want messaging that includes full calendaring and more get Exchange. 250 - 300 users is trivial for either, so long as your hardware will take it. My experience with Notes tech support is that it is horrible. MS can be bad sometimes, but it's generally better. One of the main distinctions is that a Notes admin tends to be Notes only, don't know or care about the OS underneath it. BAD move. Exchange admins tend to be far more versed in the OS and supporting infrastructure. Notes is just an app, it doesn't care too much about what it's on. Exchange has it's tentacles wound all inside of the system that you put it on. That's neither good or bad, but just is. Notes backups are trouble, each user is a database, while backups are running, if the user logged out, they are locked out, the backup software has an exclusive lock on the DB. Exchange backs up better, but restores suck. Pick your poison. I fully agree with the post about the interface, the Notes deserves all of the grief it gets, it's one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen, there are way too many things wrong to list out, go to the interface hall of shame as posted by someone else, it's true. All that said, you only said mail, then I'd use Qmail with IMP, Apache, and PHP for IMAP or web access. It's free, or just about. If you want a good commercial Messaging package and are a shop that has some good NT/2000 admins around, get Exchange. Either way, Good luck, Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 3:09 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Notes v.
