Hi,
I have seen tests conducted with loadsim on Exchange Server 2003 running on
bare metal and on Vmware ESX Server 2003 running on the same hardware. The
conclusion was that one can host a lot more mailboxes on bare metal. There's
a white paper on Vmware's site that says not to host more than
I could see virtualizing low-end Exchange systems such as FEs and Bridgehead servers as stated earlier. The higher end databases are the ones that I have a problem with at this point in time, but I'm sure that the technology will evolve to where this becomes possible for higher end databases.

From a book proposal I wrote:
According to the United States Small Business Administration (the US SBA, at

* Total approximately 23 million in the United States.
* Represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms.
* Employ half of all private
It may make sense for smaller environments -I'm usually dealing with
the 1000 user-plus environments on most occasions. In everything testing
is key.

When you're doing a computer account cleanup in an AD domain using
something like OldCmp from JoeWare.net, if you have users who rarely
connect to the domain more than 1 or 2 times per year, how do you
prevent from deleting their computer accounts? I am guessing there's
not a way, other than to

Yes, you don't generally identify and delete. You identify, relocate and
disable.
As to your original question, there is no way to tell the type of objects you
described from objects that are just plain ready for deletion because they
are no longer in use. You will have to identify these special

You do realize that that is officially a transition tool that you
should use to transition 'to' SMTP
[and yes, even with a dynamic IP and all that you can still host your
own email]

Susan, SMTP isn't a client retrieval protocol (like POP), it's a mail
delivery protocol. IMAP, POP, and MAPI are your client retrieval
protocols. SMTP and (IIRC) MAPI are mail delivery protocols. MAPI doing
double duty. SMTP, IMAP, and POP are the open (i.e. standardized)
protocols. IMAP is
I think what Susan's trying to say is that:
The POP3 connector is just a transition tool that allows your SBS box to
collect mail for your employees up until you start hosting your own SMTP
server and receive mail directly (rather than collecting it via the POP3
connector from your ISP's
When we say transition' to SMTP, that's SBSland slang for when we mean
that you fully host your email inside your SBS box on Exchange. You
contact the ISP, to the MX record thing the whole shebang, the ISP
points the needed records/protocols to you, you open port 25 and you do
your own Email
Exchange supports IMAP and has for a while.
MAPI as I look at it is the channel between Exchange and Outlook - I guess
its a content delivery and retrieval protocol. Definitely more than mail.
I think you should be more confident in your thoughts.

So Sorry one more really OT but since it's Exchange hopefully you will
indulge me? Yeah and I suck at lurking I know
The Pop connector also does not drop the email into the Exchange in a
place where the Exchange IMF filter will score it. Thus if anyone uses
the POP connector on SBS you lose
