I used to have a mailbox on 5.5, then I moved the box to an ex2000 box in the same site. When on 5.5, I could see f/b info for users on both 5.5 and 2000, now I can't see any, and I keep getting popups about the public folder not being available. The f/b public folder is on one of the 5.5

RE: [Exchange2000] Exchange Fault Tolerance

In our case it would be 10,000 users on a datacenter cluster. Running 3 active/1 passive, we end up with around 3400 users per node. By the way, I don't consider myself any kind of authority on clustering or exchange! Regards, Rob Ellis Messaging Consultant Service Delivery Solutions
