RE: Thin Clients

2003-01-23 Thread Clarke Thomas
we currently have all of our users using citrix primarily for our ERP solution. we 
originally chose it b/c we would not have to load the erp app on all the users 
computers(1.5gig plus updated biweekly). We only tend to have about 90+ using the ica 
client, and we are working to deploy the nfuse product out to non networked 
users(dialup); instead of dialup/vpn/icaclient. We've been running for 3yrs on citrix, 
my wish list has more to do w/ the erp package and cutting down its resource usage. we 
tend to max out at 24 users on a dual xeon 800(512cache) box w/ 4gigs ram.   If your 
running less resource intensive apps you can usually double the amount of users.

Subject: OT: Thin Clients


I'm curious to find out about large organizations that either are already or are 
thinking seriously about switching a significant portion of their PC base to thin 
clients )probably Citrix based).

If you done this, how is it going?  What are your top five recommendations?  What are 
the top five items on your wish list?

If you are seriously thinking about doing this, when do you think you will start 
moving?



As a footnote, we have enough licenses for about 15% of the company and are thinking 
seriously about making a much bigger move in this direction starting in about a year.  
So far, I can see some interesting conflicts with Security, VoIP and NetMeeting.  So 
far the hottest button on my wish list would be for a range of PocketPC devices (lots 
of form factors) that were both good VoIP phones (Cisco SIP) and with Pocket Office 
applets that worked one heck of a lot better with big Office on Citrix.  I get really 
annoyed with that PC Companion paradigm.

mass save of attachments, etc

2001-09-25 Thread Clarke Thomas

this more of a outlook question then exchange.  Several users are using exchange as a 
filing cabinent for their powerpoint files, etc.  They've been told to save their 
files off to their personal network drives.  Several users have several thousand of 
these such attachments in their inbox. Thus they're running out of room constantly(max 
mailbox size 200mb)  Does anyone know if there would be a way to either write a script 
or possibly an app already exists to move these attachments, and possibly the email 
that was sent w/ the attachment to local/network drive? Some of these emails are over 
5yrs old.

thanks
clarke

what do you have your max mailbox size set at?

Partially kidding.

We keep tape backups for 60 days.  Deleted item retention is set at 30 days.
BUT, NO ONE deletes anything anyway.  10 years may be pushing it, but I have
people with 5 year old email in their mailbox or in the public store.

These are engineers that keep these emails.  Why do they keep them so long?
Liability.  There is NO statute of limitations when it comes to engineering
as I understand.  So we keep everything... forever.

I have less than 100 users.  My priv is 28GB and my pub is 32GB and growing
daily.

Your message will not be on my system in 2011.  In fact, it will be deleted
in 7 days automatically.  But I don't keep emails like everyone else here
does.  My mailbox is 8MB.

The thing that worries me is that I don't think you are kidding. Can you
disclose why you chose such a long retention? And what are you retaining?
Everything? Will this very message still exist in 2011?

I am implementing Exchange 2000 for an ASP and we have run into an issue
with differing backup/retention policies for hosted customers. We have a
law firm that says 2 weeks for retention then a corporate customer that
wants 30 days. Thank the Lord for multiple storage groups. 

For those of you that have consulted with your legal departments, what
is your current retention policy?

Thanks,
Phil Isika
