Subject: High Physical Memory Utilization


One of my colleagues recently reinstalled a 5.5 SP4 Exchange Server on NT4
SP5 (only Exchange was reinstalled) and have noticed that the Physical
Memory Utilization sits at around 99% (prior to the rebuild it was around
60%).  The server has about 400 mailboxes on it and has 1Gb of physical
memory and 1Gb page file.  It is the same spec as 4 other servers in the
site which all sit at around 60% utilization.  As it is a 24x7 service we
offer on our server, down time is very limited.  Is there any way I can
check the performance optimizer settings without stopping the store? Or are
there any other pointers that anyone can think of I can check?

Typically if you have a 4 gig priv.edb your Memory Utilization is going to
be around 800-900 Meg.  Obviously this number would fluctuate based on the
numbers of users connected to the system.  The amount of mail moving back
and forth through the database on 4000 users there is no way your running 1
gig of ram unless your strickly speaking of an smtp relay box.

RE: High Physical Memory Utilization

2002-01-11 Thread Don Ely

Sorry boss, I'd venture to say you know a lot less than most of us.  My SQL
box running a QMS app doesn't even use that much hardware and it's waaay
more over tasked resource-wise than my Exchange server.

Sounds like you robbed someone blind...

Excuse me for doubting but I can only base my assumptions on real world
experience.  I know for a fact that a typical Exchange Box with Mailboxes
providing Mapi based services with a 4 gig priv will run around 800 meg ram
utilization.  With two processors and a raid controller  on this box your
would drastically reduce the disk i/o activity on this box which equates to
cooler drives and a longer lasting exchange box.  Maybe it's overkill but
I'd much rather have an Exchange Box running at 1% processor utilization and
have 20% of my physical ram free.

EXCUSE ME!!!  It's not that I nor my company can't afford your server
spec, it's the fact that I KNOW how to spec a server whereas it seems you
DON'T.

Your recommendation SUCKS!  You recommended a system that should last 5-8
years!!! ROFLMFAO!  PuH-LEASE!  Technology changes too fast, NO SERVER
will EVER LAST 5-8 years.  I spec mine to get a maximum of four years.

I don't need to re-evaluate how I spend money.  I spread it around so I have
the toys in place to manage the entire network and put new toys in place to
improve upon the network.

Your server is a waste of money.  I could have used the spare cash and
probably upgraded every switch in my server room to a Layer 3...

Cannot afford to spec a server appropriately  PUH-LEASE!

Then again...  I wanna know why it took you 20 posts to give us this...

So because you cannot afford to spec a server appropriately you decide it's
best to flame everyone else that can.

If your read the original post correctly you would have seen that I was
making a recommendation.  The recommendation allows for future growth of the
database and the least amount of hardware problems.  The fact that you
consider the hardware to be overkill shows you lack of experience.  I
recommended a system that should last 5-8 years.  What good does it do to
spec a system that barely meets your current needs?  

In addition, you are chastising me for convincing higher ups to purchase a
system that is in your opinion an overkillWouldn't this be considered an
asset?  Maybe you should evaluate your own tactics with upper management.

SP5 (only Exchange was reinstalled) and have noticed that the Physical
Memory Utilization sits at around 99% (prior to the rebuild it was around
60%).  The server has about 400 mailboxes on it and has 1Gb of physical
memory and 1Gb page file.  It is the same spec as 4 other servers in the
site which all sit at around 60% utilization.  As it is a 24x7 service we
offer on our server, down time is very limited.  Is there any way I can
check the performance optimizer settings without stopping the store? Or are
there any other pointers that anyone can think of I can check?

Don - lack of experience - ouch!

The real world has to adapt. I could spend far too much money on a server
that should last 5-8 years. But then I would rather spend money on a server
that suits the company needs now and for the next 3-4 years and replace it
with one after that time. And if I ask for silly money now, I am not going
to get it for anything else that may need it (you never know what's around
the corner).

Its experience that is showing all of us that we don't need a server with a
spec that high. If a change occurs that should suddenly change your user
base or policies, then use it for some more money to upgrade/replace your
server.

So because you cannot afford to spec a server appropriately you decide it's
best to flame everyone else that can.

If your read the original post correctly you would have seen that I was
making a recommendation.  The recommendation allows for future growth of the
database and the least amount of hardware problems.  The fact that you
consider the hardware to be overkill shows you lack of experience.  I
recommended a system that should last 5-8 years.  What good does it do to
spec a system that barely meets your current needs?  

In addition, you are chastising me for convincing higher ups to purchase a
system that is in your opinion an overkillWouldn't this be considered an
asset?  Maybe you should evaluate your own tactics with upper management.

I guess it depends on your situation.  If policy dictates that Exchange
Server is classified as a critical system I would think you would want to
spec the system appropriately.

Secondly, getting what you want from upper management is a skill and
requires good salesmanship and good political tactics.  I would think you
guys and gals would consider this an asset.  

If I can get a nice, big, powerful server...I'm going to do it.

A system that is good for 5-8 years? So you are currently running systems
that were state of the art 5-8 years ago? Do you have Exchange running on a
486-DX2 with 128MB of RAM?

BTW, from a financial standpoint any system that old is already fully
depreciated. I suspect your support costs for continuing to support systems
that old, as well as the loss of productivity your users experience due to
hardware this old. I agree with the Buy the biggest system you can now, but
I'm just hoping to keep it running for 3 years until I've fully written it
off the books.

But wasn't Don merely stating *his* opinion? Or is it only ok for you to

list, like ohh this one, have another opinion, then you might consider it
time to re-evaluate your opinion. 

Someone else actually stated their server load and you basically told them
they were wrong. That is going beyond stating an opinion, each person here
probably knows best of all what is running on their own servers. I've got
one here with only 1 gig of ram and 2500 users. According to you, that's
impossible, but you are free to come visit this site and count them and
still see if you feel that way.

And another comment Mr. Ely.

Let's keep this in mind next time you decide to flame me or someone else on
the list.

I'm simply giving my opinion.  Acceptance is optional.  I'm giving my
opinion of a server spec for exchange server that in my opinion has giving
me the best level of performance and least amount of headaches over a 10
year period.  Whether you choose this type of hardware is irrelevant being
that I'm the one stating an opinion. 

You have the option of lending your alternative option to the discussion.
This would give the person whom made the original post more alternatives.

Second, I have never claimed to be the foremost expert on Exchange Server. I
am here with an open mind and willing and needing to learn just like

Thanks for your time.

One of my colleagues recently reinstalled a 5.5 SP4 Exchange Server on NT4
SP5 (only Exchange was reinstalled) and have noticed that the Physical
Memory Utilization sits at around 99% (prior to the rebuild it was around
60%).  The server has about 400 mailboxes on it and has 1Gb of physical
memory and 1Gb page file.  It is the same spec as 4 other servers in the
site which all sit at around 60% utilization.  As it is a 24x7 service we
offer on our server, down time is very limited.  Is there any way I can
check the performance optimizer settings without stopping the store? Or are
there any other pointers that anyone can think of I can check?

But wasn't Don merely stating *his* opinion? Or is it only ok for you to
have one? You know, when you have one opinion, and the majority of a large
list, like ohh this one, have another opinion, then you might consider it
time to re-evaluate your opinion. 

Someone else actually stated their server load and you basically told them
they were wrong. That is going beyond stating an opinion, each person here
probably knows best of all what is running on their own servers. I've got
one here with only 1 gig of ram and 2500 users. According to you, that's
impossible, but you are free to come visit this site and count them and
still see if you feel that way.

A dig on tripathimaging.com shows a default TTL of 24 hours, so it would
take no more than that.

I'd ask them to crank the TTL down on your stuff to an hour NOW.  Then by
the time they change the records, it will take no more than one hour for all
caching hosts to update.  

The one hour is what I crank mine down to, when I foresee a change in DNS
hosting coming down the pipe.  Sometimes even 15 minutes, believe it or not.
You may be happy with 6 or 12 or 24 hours; but the point is that a one hour
TTL won't matter on a domain like tripathimaging.com; there aren't that many
records.  Verio shouldn't mind, either.

Dr. Dogg and myself are definitely two different people.  While you say
Sometimes I can be too direct., I am direct all of the time, I leave no
room for interpretation.  It's not to say either of us is correct, but you
were very much incorrect in the way you made your definitive statement and

too.

I'm sure all of us would like to have the most powerful servers alive in our

trusted to make the correct decision.  What if your company had a third
party come in and analyze your network, then report to your management that
your network was over spec'd.  Your level of trust has just been dropped.

My senior management trusts me to make good decisions and I frequently get
asked if I'd bank my job on those decisions.  My reply to that is I'll bank

2002-01-11 Thread Don Ely

Well, I have found something that we both agree on.  I am very much a fan of
Dell Servers.  In fact, every server room I touch is covered in Dell Blue
and Cisco Green.

As for your infrastructure theory, that is what most of us are paid for.
I'm not satisfied if I don't get 99.999% uptime out of my network.  I don't
do downtime and I certainly don't tolerate downtime.  Neither do most of the
folks here.  We do like to have a life outside of our jobs so we make sure
we place the correct hardware in our infrastructure.  That does NOT mean, we
place the most powerful server we can buy for 400 users.  At one of my
previous jobs, we ran close to a 1000 users on a PII 400 with 256MB of RAM.
Never had any downtime or performance issues...

As has been stated, YMMV, but I seriously doubt all that hardware was
necessary for your 400 users

Yes.  I agree with the first paragraph.  That's why I chose to apologize.

However, make correct decisions can be based on your specific environment.
Given the same problem we might all solve it a little differently.  Some
problems only have one answer.  However, when it comes to hardware
preference does matter.  You might use Compaq whereas I prefer Dell, someone
else might preference IBM.  I prefer to throw more hardware at the
solution.  

As for the auditing, my department is audited 4 times per year by an
internal audit group and once per year by an external audit group.  Every
year I pass with flying colors.  Why, server uptime and stability,
application availability, services availability, etc Downtime reports
are seldom to say the least.  However, I'm not bragging.  I'm simply trying
to add credibility to my proposal for appropriate hardware solutions.  

It does not stop with the servers.  I purchase the best cabling, best patch
panels, best switches, best security options, best monitoring options,
etc... that I can.  In my opinion,  if your having a problem with a system
it's always a good time to evaluate your infrastructure and hardware to keep
these problems from occurring in the first place.

Thanks for the time.

Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
 
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a millstone hanging over me,
The system crashed so suddenly.
 
I did something wrong.
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone
And I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay
 
Tragedy,

RE: store.exe

2002-01-10 Thread Don Ely

I wouldn't suggest that.  Exchange will give up the RAM when the system
requests it.  It's the nature of how it works.

Are you actually seeing performance issues or do you just want to limit the
usage?

Subject: store.exe


Hi all
Does anyone know how to restrict the memory allocation used by Exchange
2000?   I have a small site that keeps blowing out its memory.
Wiondows 2000 SBS / Exchange 2000 service pack, IBM netserver with 896 Mb
Ram with 10 users.   The store.exe after 24 hours uses all the available
RAM and will not release it for other applications so all applications are
using the swap file which slows down the server.I would like to
restrict the Information store to 384MB ram and allow the other processes to
use the rest of the available RAM I know that the system is suppose to be
self regulating but I would like
to restrict it.   I have read some of the articles on Technet but they
only talk about restricting the treads and we have tried that but it still
has the same problems. Thanks in advanced

Are you sure its actually freezing?  Maybe your shell is just freaking out.
Next time it happens try to connect to it with server manager on another
machine and see if you can shutdown services gracefully.  Cold boot when
services are running makes me fear a DB corruption.

We had that happen here, and oddly enough the problem went away on its own.

document found in the search I provided you with tells you step by step how
to do what you are asking. Since it's obvious you can't take a hint, and
based on your statement, have no clue how to perform a search, I'll rephrase
the statement for you.

Rephrased prior statement:

Although you have probably searched TechNet, it's clear that you haven't a
clue how to word a search. Therefore, I will provide a search for you that
will bring up documentation on how to identify the Org and Site names you
are looking for with the files you have available. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com and place the following words, without the
quotation marks, in the search textbox located in the upper left hand
portion of the window: recover exchange site name. The third document in
the list will tell you how to recover the Org and Site names in a very clear
step-by-step manner.

I hope this helps!

End of rephrased statement

Research. It's your friend.

RE: Win2k backup and Exchange

2002-01-07 Thread Don Ely

You've never heard of database logging have you?  In the event of a restore,
when the IS is restored and the transaction logs are replayed, you have lost
nothing.  You can restore right up to the point of failure.  Therefore your
use of Differentials is unwarranted

David,

First,I would read the paper disaster recovery.
Second,I would ask the question why can you not do full (normal) backups
every day unless of course your data outstrips your tape size on each
server. I think you are reading into differentials too deeply. Personally I
would recommend Veritas Backupexec as NTBackup is a stripped down version
albeit free, but again it comes down to the horses for courses and each
person can tell a different story where backups are concerned. My reasoning
is the restore times from testing are faster with Veritas. Whether you want
to pay that much more is the question?.

Yours sincerely,

I realize there are no stupid questions but only stupid people who ask

I finally got my boss to buy a DLT drive exclusively for each of my Exchange
2000 servers.  From all I've read here and elsewhere I decided to use
NTBackup rather than ARCServe on my servers.  I cannot, however, find a way
to setup the backups correctly.  I aim to do a nightly full backup at 11pm
with differentials every two hours from 6am until 8pm when the tape would be
replaced for that night's backup.  I see in the backup wizard how to set the
daily backup as a normal and how to schedule a second differential
backup for only the information store at my selected times.  However, the
option to append rather than overwrite the media is grayed out on the
differential.  If this differential is going to overwrite the full backup
then a single tape source for backup isn't feasible.  I'm sure it is but I'm
just missing something so anything you can offer would be appreciated. ]

RE: Win2k backup and Exchange

2002-01-07 Thread Don Ely

If your backups are so damn important, why do you use some crappy a$$ backup
product like ArcCrap?  If your lawyers want so much out of so little, why
don't you explain to them that in order to reach their desired goal, they
will have to spend some coin to accomplish this?  Might I suggest CommVault
Galaxy?

Having nightly full backups or differentials will give you no love in a
entire server crash.  Is your system so unstable that it crashes that
frequently?  Would you not see a full-blown crash coming if you were
performing periodic system maintenance?  I would see it, I have seen it...
I've done many disaster recoveries in my time and most every time, I have
been able to recover every piece of mail.  

Exactly, what kind of service are these lawyers expecting?  Are you planning
on keeping backups up to date within the hour or something?  Again, why are
you not using a REAL backup solution if your data is sooo sensitive and
your needs so great?  

Sounds to me like someone told these lawyers they could offer a high level
SLA with a very poor plan in place...

Just my opinion of course...  I know what I can offer and how I will offer
it though...

As much as I appreciate multiple links and sarcastic comments, I do not see
anywhere in the whitepaper from either 5.5 or 2000 on how you can roll logs
forward IF THE LOGS AREN'T THERE...  Have you ever heard of a full system
crash?  Although I admit it is much less likely than any other type of
failure it is still possible to lose the entire server, isn't it?  And if it
is, the logs you are so fond of referring to will be about as useful as your
sarcasm.  If you ever have the misfortune to work for lawyers you will find
that there are certain things you do and deal with and a full system daily
backup which is as up-to-date as possible is an absolute requirement.  That
is the reason that I am asking and why I feel my use of differentials is
warranted.  If I am not mistaken, a tape of any sort is only going to be
as useful as the last information written to it if that is the only source
of data, is it not?  Therefore, a full server crash in the late afternoon
with only last night's full backup leaves you SOL for almost a full day's
work.

However, if I am incorrect in my assumption that a tape which contains a
full backup along with differential backups will allow me to rebuild my
server completely and restore it to the point of the last differential then
I would honestly be interested in hearing why. Furthermore, if there is a
way to restore and roll the logs should the server that the logs were on be
completely dead using just a full backup from the night before than I
retract all sarcasm on my part and look forward to hearing how that process
would work.

RE: Win2k backup and Exchange

2002-01-07 Thread Don Ely

I think our friend is assuming his entire server died.  In which case, he'd
be what I would consider a reactive admin versus a proactive admin...

Servers don't just crash David.  There is always something that leads up
to the crash and with real hardware in place such as Compaq, Dell, or
otherwise, you will get some kind of indication ahead of time that disaster
is near.

As Ken mentioned, log files should always be on another spindle unless
there are some financial constraints.  Being that these lawyers are
requiring so much, they should be willing to spend a little cheddar to get
the right tools in place to accomplish the task at hand.

Hello All,

After all the problems that you've all seen me have, I went and did a
complete reinstall of the Exchange Server.  I mean - everything, like
reformatting the drives, reinstalling 2000 Server, and the whole 9-yards.

What I wanted to do, is take snapshots of a pre-Exchange 2000 Installed
system - so I can compare all of the changes that take place when you
install the EX2K server.

And NOW, I can't even install the Exchange 2000 Server software! - I can
select the Topmost Component in the Installation Menu and select Custom.
Then sub tree items like Microsoft Exchange Messaging  Collaboration
Services gives me the following error message when I try to check off the
Install option:

The component 'Microsoft Exchange Messaging  Collaboration
  Services' cannot be assigned 'Install' because:  A server object
  for this server 'Exchange' already exists in the Administrative
  Group 'First Administrative Group'.  You must either remove this
  server object before installing, or run Setup with the 'Disaster
  Recovery' switch if you are attempting this server.

Should I just shoot myself right now?  Just for kicks, I tried the Disaster
Recovery option, and then the install kicked off again, 
selected that Option, then it gave me a new error message saying that I need
to run the Domain Prep crap - blah blah blah...  So I tried that, it ran
fine, then ran the install again, then errored out again!

What the heck is it finding?  It HAS to be something left behind from the
previous Exchange 2000 Install - on the 2000 Server Domain Controller
because it's impossible to have anything left on the old box because it was
ALL BLOWN AWAY.

Using Active Directory Administrator on the Domain Controller, I deleted the
2 Exchange Specific Groups that were created from the last EX2K Server
Install figuring that's what the Error Message was referring to, but that
didn't fix the problem.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I need to do, in order to perform a
100% Fresh EX2K install on a Fresh Windows 2000 Server?  At this point, I am
painfully remembering WHY I avoided using Exchange over the past several
years.

I am NOT giving up though - I really need to get this working, and I hate
spending entire days, on attempting to get some of the most basic features
of the software running, before I can get into all the fun stuff - like
actually adding users, virtual domains, tweaking and optimizing - you know,
actually USING the software for it's intended purpose before I get my butt
fired???

I am a very frustrated person right now ... uggh

Thanks in advance for all your expertise,

Mike

We are using Mail Marshall and the reason port 25 needs to be change is
because Mail Marshall uses this port(97) for mail and sends mail to Exchange
Server, instead of Exchange recieving it first. Mail Marshall is acting like
a mail security gateway for Exchange.

years, and was part of the support team during the launch of Telewest
SurfUnlimited. I've used and supported ISDN, ADSL, and Cable Modems, as well
as Leased Line, Routed Solutions and Plain Old dial-up. Sad though I am, I
can identify a modem model and a RAS by ear. With Lucent Portmasters, I can
even tell the ComOs release by listening to it.

I'm based in Basingstoke, UK, but don't mind commuting, consulting,
homeworking, Remote Adminning, or even travelling if the price is right.
I'll do Contract or Permanent, and would be looking for ˆ25 per hour for
Contract or ˆ35,000 per annum for permanent.

If you want more info, or a CV, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many thanks all.

I feel the same way. I really researched for the best solution back then,
and scanmail it has proven to be great...no crashed servers, no bluescreens
etc. We did have a few outbreaks, but that was I think due to scanmail being
on a P-133 and not being able to keep up with the influx. IF I can build a
strong enough case against NAV for scanning...and just do the server/client
side solution only, that would be great. I almost want to install it, and
have things crash for them not asking me about this...but IM the one that

Hi Folks,
I just found out we are going with The Norton Solution for our company
anti-virus protection. This is fine for server and client, but I was also
told we would be using NAV's solution for Exchange. (Groupware I think). 
Since I was not involved in this decision, but was the sole decision maker
when I chose Scanmail...im not too happy. But...I turn to y'all again, as I
did a few years ago for info on the best AV solution. This time I'm asking
what kind of problems will I see with this new NAV scan engine that was
chosen for MY Email servers? Is the NAV a solid, non-flaky product for
Exchange? I couldn't really find anything major from the net..but y'all
would know best. 
Thanks!

RE: Restoration Solutions?

2001-12-28 Thread Don Ely

You backup your server using an AV solution???  That seems strange...  Not
to mention, impossible.

Now, if you're using ArcCrapIt, you're still in deep doodoo.  It's a widely
known fact that while ArcCrapIt may back up your server, it is very unlikely
that it will restore in the event of a disaster such as yours.

Additionally, do you not perform test restores?  Might I ask why if your
answer is no?

Subject: Restoration Solutions?


Hi,

Running Exchange 5.5 SP3 on NT server.  We backup the server nightly using
client agent from InnoculateIT.

Unfortunately one of our users has misplaced or lost a large amount of mail
and it is nowhere to be found.  We are curious what restoration options are
available with Exchange as we have not done this previously.

Short of setting up another Exchange server and restoring the databases, is
there any way quickly to access the backed up mail?

Otherwise, what suggestions does the group have for making this restoration
easier in the future?

Thanks much,

RE: Restoration Solutions?

2001-12-28 Thread Don Ely

NT Backup works great if you need something simple.

As far as restoration procedures, I would suggest you read the DR
whitepapers on the MS Site.  I would also suggest a spare server, running
exchange to do the test restores on.  At a minimum, test restores should be
done every 90 days. That way, you keep up on your procedures, increase your
skill level, and verify that you actually have good backups.

Alright, so what is the good backup solution for the Exchange databases?

We have not performed test restores to date.  We like to make sure
everything goes to hell if the server crashes - okay, well not really.  Do
you have any recommendations for restore procedures (testing purposes?).

Thanks,

So you have a PIX in front of your Exchange server???  When was this put in
place?

Don,
sorry about the multiples. I didn't think they were getting posted. So I
tried an number of different ways. I actually was going to email just you
and ask if this list was updated real time. I know it is unsecure, but that
is really not my choice, I have just really locked this machine down and it
hasn't been patched or upgraded for over a year, our old senior network
admin wasn't a slack but he was really cautious about patches and security
wasn't a company priority. I am moving towards further securing the server,
but that doesn't change the connectivity issue. This really shouldn't
matter. I thought at first it was a dns problem and added more dns servers.
Opened the pix wide open, when I watch the syslog, I see all the sessions
establishing and they stay established, but I still get that error. I can
ping by ip or hostname, I can tracert to it without problem.

RE: Client Access

2001-12-28 Thread Don Ely

Well, having some familiarity with the PIX, you'd have to open around 64000
ports up to access Exchange from the internet.  Unless you have hacked the
registry of the Exchange server to statically assign the ports that Exchange
uses for communications.

However, my question still stands...  If you have OWA and a VPN solution in
place, WHY are you trying to access the server off of the internet?
What purpose are you serving here?  I'm just trying to get an understanding
of what you're attempting to accomplish.

I agree with this.  This is a bad idea to open up this communication via the
internet.  A better solution would be to implement a VPN solution using PPTP
directly to the server or another RAS Server.  I'm not aware of any problems
running RAS on the Exchange box but I suppose it would depend on how the
Exch box is configured.  If the system has one network card and points
directly to the PIX as it's default gateway you should be fine.

Just curious what some of the Exchange Admins think.  Would you consider
Antivirus a full time job?  I speak for both email and network/desktop.


Around here it isn't, although we wish it was cause it seems to be getting

No I don't think it needs to be a full time job, but it is defiantly one

answers to problems. I personally take that role myself.

Just curious what some of the Exchange Admins think.  Would you consider
Antivirus a full time job?  I speak for both email and network/desktop.


Around here it isn't, although we wish it was cause it seems to be getting
neglected.  We are around 1300 users right now.

Subject: Recovering Deleted Items


I recently rebuilt my PC and I had a utility (or registry fix, or
something) that enabled me to recover deleted items from all folders, not
just the deleted items folder.  For instance, if a user presses
(shift+delete) on an item in their inbox, I can still recover it. Does
anyone know how to configure this feature?  

Thanks in advance

We are preparing to merge with another firm that is also using Exchange

with Exchange v5.5 SP4.  Once we have joined NT domains we will need a tool 
to combine the two Exchange systems, and the Move Server Wizard looks like 
just that tool.  We also have the option to ExMerge all data out to PSTs and

join the two systems that way, but assuming the wizard works correctly it 
seems preferable.  Has anyone had any experiences with this - good or bad?  
Any comments from people who have been through a similar scenario that may

Alex,

I see that you have an MS.com email addy so I for some reason will assume
you work there.  Where are you getting the bright idea that exmerge is NOT
supported by MS or even PSS for that matter?  Not that I ever call on you
guys, but I would say that exmerge has been supported for longer than you
been employed there.

Of course, you must understand that most of us realize that the SIS is broke
when exmerge is run, but not supported by MS???  Doubt it...

Alex,

I see that you have an MS.com email addy so I for some reason will assume
you work there.  Where are you getting the bright idea that exmerge is NOT
supported by MS or even PSS for that matter?  Not that I ever call on you
guys, but I would say that exmerge has been supported for longer than you
been employed there.

I prefer the move server process.  As long as you're using the latest
store.exe and mvstore.dll, and your database is in acceptable shape, move
server will get you where you're going much faster, plus you keep single
instance storage.  On top of that, move server is fully supported, which is

RE: M$ Exchange Move Server Wizard

2001-12-21 Thread Don Ely

Strange, I've never seen Exmerge crash my server, but I suppose there is a
possibility.  Then again, wouldn't ISScan have the same potential impact?
We (the general we) run these utilities occasionally for virus outbreaks,
etc...  These are the supported methods to ripping stuff out of the IS
during these types of outbreaks.  So how may I ask do you propose admins
take care of their server then?

Most of us know that there are different versions of Exmerge for the
different levels of Exchange, now if this utility is buggy as you say, why
do we Exchange professionals out in the real world use it?  Why has it
been suggested we use it?  Or are you quoting how MS wants it done?  For
those of us in the real world, there is the MS way and there is the real
way.  Are you telling me I've been doing it wrong for the last 6 years?

At any rate, there is a risk involved any time you do anything to the
exchange server databases.  That's like saying that eseutil is NOT supported
because it can crash the server.  

I'm just curious to your position on all of this.  Being a part of MS, I
know you can't divulge your honest opinion, but throw me a bone.  I've been
working with Exchange since it was born, so...  I'm a bit curious.  I'm
certainly not saying you're wrong, but you have my attention for the minute.

Ok, let me ellaborate on this a little bit.

I work in PSS, in a group close to the group that the individual who
originially wrote ExMerge worked in.  That individual maintained the ExMerge
code for several years.  That individual has now moved to MCS, and is no
longer maintaining that code.

I'm not saying that it's buggy.  I'm not saying that there's anything wrong
with it.  I'm not saying that you shouldn't use it.  What I'm saying is that
a lot of time and effort was used to delevop and test the Move Server
Wizard.  It is fully supported, and there are code maintainers for it.  For
moving servers between sites or orgs, in my opinion, Move Server is the
best, hands down.  I will recommend it each and every time the question is
asked.

RE: Livevault backup software

2001-12-20 Thread Don Ely

I did, it worked.  However, if you're going for a solution that expensive,
you might as well look at CommVault Galaxy.  It costs about the same and is
more geared for Exchange.  LV is certified on Exchange, but it really
depends on how you intend to perform your backups.

As you may or may not know, LV backs up to disk, then tape.  That means you
need an additional server that has at least as much disk space on it as your
entire environment.

I liked most of the features the product offered.  Their Technical Support
was great.  I would advise others to purchase it, but there are other
products out there like CommVault that I like better.  Of course, that is
more of a personal preference.

I have one exchange server in my office nt4 exchange 5.5sp4.  We have two
buildings across the street from each other connected by a aironet bridge.
The other building doesnt have a server but we want one there as an exchange
server 2000 with clustering to the other server.  The old exchange server
will be upgraded with exchange 2000 with windows 2000 advance server to
replicate with the server across the street.  With the aironet bridge are we
able to cluster over this or should we use a partial T1.  We want this
server to be in the other building so if one building was to burn down we
could pick up the in the other building on the same day and not lose any
time.  Any suggestions would be great thanks
