This presumes that the function of e-mail remains stagnant.  If it
doesn't, the pure hardware box has to chase a moving target, which is
not an easy thing to do.

Doesn't just about every company that has a hardware firewall also
have a firewall administrator?

Not that any of your forecasts scare me.  I'm retiring within 20 years.

So Roger, does this mean that you are getting ready for the sobering
messages?

First, let me say that I am not privy to any advanced product planning
in what I am about to say, and am only speculating.  I fully expect to
see a pure hardware version of an entry level Exchange Server within ten
years. The design goal would have to be such that a professional sys
admin is not required.  My guess is that initially it would be targeted
at that same mid-tier that you identify, but perhaps a bit lower (25-100
seats) at first. It has to go that way.  If you look at what is
happening in networking as a whole, you have companies like LinkSys and
D-Link that are almost totally focused on idiot proof boxes for basic
functionality.  Intel, Nortel and more recently Microsoft have all gone
chasing after this space as well.  It only makes sense that this space
will grow up to include a line of mini-blade or little box headless
servers that do all of the basics (mail, telephony, web hosting, etc.).
General purpose storage and print servicing is already happening.

As we all know, little machines grow up to become big machines.  20
years from now, it is not unreasonable to project that even quite large
systems will be simple hardware modules that you add to your pile of
network pieces.

Simple. Its not cost effective to outsourse at the levels they target.
They missed the boat from day one.

There is a relative break even point for having your own IT staff,
generally in the 25-75 user range, depending on what your company
actually does. More than 100 or so, and you really need someone. Once
you've got someone inhouse, they tend to have to be a jack-of-all-trades
type, and do a lot of fumbling through. But the job gets done.

Traditionally, an NT box with Exchange 5.5 Standard wasn't really that
expensive - you could probably do that for $10k. Win2k with E2k has
raised the prices a bit, but not exhorbinantly such. With leasing
options, that server could be a few hundred a month.

Like any service provider, the good fruit is in the middle of the tree,
not the low hanging stuff. SO they tended to target 500 person plus
orgs. This 600-ish person company has 8 sysadmins - we have enough time
to manage Exchange. Without it, maybe we'd have one less headcount, but
I'd bet that the headcount loss isn't drastically different than the
cost of 600 users' outsourced mail needs.

Now, the other side of this equation is that email is a core business
need for most companies, and isn't that hard to at least get running[1].
More specialized things, like e-commerce and line of business apps make
more sense in a managed environment. Email never did.

   Bring up another Server (call this w2kmail). 4.  Restore the 
   system state from the Exchange 5.5 production server to w2kmail.
   5.  Install exchange binaries with setup/r...etc (follow part 1 /

   Does this sound correct?  NT would have been easier...because all

I have a few reasons that an archival system might not be appropriate.

1.  Cost.

2.  Retention policies.  These systems are in opposition to many
companies' legal departments' opinions that all e-mail older than a
certain age must be destroyed.  I'm not arguing that these policies are
valid (I think they almost always are wrong-headed) but that they exist
and have to be followed when so dictated by corporate management.

3.  Need.  Plenty of organizations simply don't need them.  Enlightened
database sizing and retention policies can obviate such a requirement in
many cases.  Myself, I would prefer spending funds on improved backup
systems rather than an archival system if each achieves the same end
goal of allowing users to store more data.

Subject: RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'


I have ony found one solution to this type of problem and it is called
an Email Archival system. I have no idea why this type of a solution is
not more popular. It gets the information out of the Exchange stores and
off user's hard drives and onto permanent storage on CD's or DVD's. The
systems they have now integrate quite well with Exchange, provide
advanced security capabilities and include full-text searching
capabilities. And users can access the systems via a web browser.

Why more people do not use these systems is anyone's guess. Apparently
most email admins out there are content with draconian storage policies
or catering to users like poor Russell who is personally buring CD's. It
can all be automated and you can have the best of all worlds. Email
Archival systems folks, they have been around for a long time and work
quite well.

I recommend them to nearly every client that I work for because there is
so much business knowledge in email that it is almost criminal the way
some companies blast it from their systems after only a week or two. If
they actually understood and appreciated the amount of knowledge and
business process information that they were losing, they would never do
such an incredibly stupid thing.

And Craig, I have to disagree with you about user provided storage.
Individuals have consistently proven that they simply cannot store,
organize and process large amounts of data. If I received as much snail
mail as email, my entire house would be full of unorganized stacks of
crap. Proper storage of business information should reside on business
systems, not on personally provided storage. Centralization and
automation of storage is incredibly more efficient and productive than
individual users storing their own information.

 Tongue out of cheek - this is a product design problem of course.
 
 Give me one good reason for Exchange being in the storage or data
 management business.  How it ought to work in a world with Active 
 Directories and Distributed File System overlays to NTFS is that a 
 mailbox should be a pointer to user provided storage.  Who provides 
 your snail mail box?  It's not the post office, unless you are renting

 a PO Box.  Normal delivery is to storage that you provide, structure
 and manage.
 
 Why does Exchange deliver primarily to message stores?  Because of a
 lack of sufficient protocols and customer demand to do it right.
 
 If your customer thinks your service is inadequate, your customer is
 not wrong.  As someone earlier in this thread said so eloquently (if
 misguidedly)
 
 duh!

That's not a hard and fast economics law, Hummert. All one has to do is
look at local utility (telephone, gas, electricity) deregulation to see
that compettion isn't always what its cracked up to be.

Quite often, competition hurts products, not helps. For instance,
Exchange's traditional competitors are Notes and Groupwise. Each of the
three have a long and relatively distinguished implementation record.
Now we have OpenExchange. At this point, its probably 3-5 years away
from getting to the current state of any of the Big 3 in
functionality, stability and scalability. That's 3-5 years the big
players will continue on their own paths, most likely considering
OpenExchange as nothing more than yet another wannabe.

You see, competition isn't beneficial if the competitors aren't on a
relatively level playing field to start.

 Microsoft

Conversation: AutoDL
Subject: AutoDL

I am having a heck of a time configuring AutoDL to work.  I can't seem
to locate much help besides the install.txt with the Resource Kit.  I
have followed the instrcutions to the best of my ability and when I
login to the AutoDL main page I get an error DOMAIN\UserName is not
recognized by the AutoDL system.
Has anyone got this up and running that could lend me some knowledge?
Or other ideas to allow DL management.

Marty
