The Sunbelt Exchange list is the highest volume list around. There are also several Yahoo Lists that have volume and good folks. MSExchange.org also runs an Exchange list.
Outside of those, you have the Microsoft forums. Now, most of the issues you report are SBS issues. And yep, they can be painful. Don't take it out on Exchange though! :-) ________________________________________ From: Phillip Partipilo [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 1:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Exchange stuff I admit I'm an Exchange noob, we've been pop3'ing our mail for awhile and I have been wanting to implement this for a while. There have been some pretty huge pains getting this working on SBS2008, like "do they test this software before shipping it?" sort of pains. Rollups needed to import Outlook PST files, unsupported hotfixes to get a 32-bit machine to connect to the main server since you cant run import-mailbox on a 64-bit box, oh, all sorts of fun. And Exchange updates are treated as separate entities, even though it is sort-of part of SBS, but it has to be specifically updated separately. It's been a fun journey for sure. Anyway. After being up till 4am last night finally getting everything running on the bench, and it is freakin impressive - I have 4 1/2 years of Sunbelt NTSysadmin emails imported into a mailbox and it does a full text search on all 108,000+ emails in 3 seconds, and that's on a wimpy 1.8 ghz box with a single IDE hard disk, whats the definitive exchange email list to join?
