This has been asked and many times, though relatively infrequently. The answer is your mileage will vary, and greatly.

Here is the question: Is there a rule of thumb for number of Exchange support people per mailbox? per server? per number of users? What is your support scenario? In other words how many servers/users/Exchange professionals in your company? Our specific case is as follows: We maintain 17 servers with around 15,000 accounts and give support to other sites (around 8 more servers). In the support we include day to day operations (backups, scanMail, outlook problems, outlook programming (VBA), etc). We are 2.5 people (including one technical manager) and we think we are under staffed. We are planning to approach Management for more bodies. Your input will allow us to support (or not support, so we stay quiet) our requests. Your help is greatly appreciated, Jorge _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
