• NetApp:SNAPDrive and SNAPManager for Exchange on an RDM

  I found an archived discussion that was about two years old, so I thought I have this back. I want to use Netapp SnapDrive one and SNAPManager for Exchange on a physical RDM. All points of the documentation using the initiator iSCSI from inside the virtual machine, but I have iSCSI HBA and so is not an option. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  It is Abhinav Joshi, one of the reference architects at NetApp virtualization. The latest version of SnapDrive one which is version 6.2 now supports physical RDMs in addition to iSCSI initiator of s/w inside comments. It is available for download on the moment of NetApp Site. http://now.NetApp.com/now/download/software/snapdrive_win/6.2/

  We recently published a reference Architecture that highlights best practices for execution of MS Apps (SQL Server, Exchange and Sharepoint) across all the protocols - FC, iSCSI, NFS. For iSCSI, this version showcases initiator iSCSI inside comments.

  More details can be found here: http://blogs.netapp.com/virtualization/2009/11/updated-solution-guide-virtualize-microsoft-apps-mixed-workload-exchange-sql-server-and-sharepoint-o.html#more

  The updated version of the Ref arch with RDM iSCSI option should be available soon.

• Best practices for Exchange 2003 with VMWare ESXi 3.5 and iSCSI SAN

  Hello guys,.

  Here's the Q? We have 1 physical Exchange 2003, the HOST of 4 and 1 iSCSI SAN with LUN 3, 1 for data, 1 for VMWare and 1 for SQL, if we're going to virtualize it, I don't know where to put data Exchage and newspapers. I do not think that that is a good practice to put together the data but I do not have another SAN. So, what can I do?

  Thank you.

  We have 813 mailbox.

  I agree with cainics, start an average size and go from there.  I know it's a production mail server and you can not exactly 'play' with the settings because this requires time, but if you do the VM too big, you would have nothing left for other virtual machines.

  I would go 2 vCPU and at least 4 GB of RAM, maybe 8GB.  There must be parameters for the Exchange mailbox 813 and X users # to implement your environments in order to get an idea of the amount of RAM that will be... 4GB seems minimal to me, but 8 GB would probably be better like that.

• ESX 3i for Exchange 2003

  Hello people,

  Can I use ESX 3i to consolidate the two Exchange server 2003 for redundancy? 1 box of 2 virtual Exchange. We have about 500 users.

  Thank you.

  Before you Virtualize your Exchange boxes, I would consider using Exchange 2007 because that provides more users and performance through larger cache sizes.  There is a best practice to do this, use vmware for exchange 2007 pleas google online that he will quickly reveal.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  First uninstall only MS Office Professional Edition 2003 (which should automatically remove the "one" and probably BCM 2003).

• Storage NFS for Exchange Server OS

  While I believe that Microsoft Support policy and recommendations for Exchange servers in hardware virtualization environments, document is very clear, I was faced with the following question:

  Microsoft does support the operating system Exchange server running on a NFS datastore?

  I believe that this issue is the result of the lack of understanding of the support strategy.  Here is the statement in question ("BOLD" emphasis is mine):

  The storage used by the Exchange Server guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or hub transport queues) can be virtual storage of a fixed size (for example, fixed virtual hard drives [VHD] in a Hyper-V environment), SCSI direct storage, or Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage. Pass through storage is storage that is configured at the host level and dedicated to one guest machine. All storage used by a computer invited exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage. Exchange 2010 is not compatible with network attached storage (NAS) volumes. NAS storage presented to the guest as block-level storage using the hypervisor is not supported. Transmission volumes must be presented as storage of block level for hardware virtualization software. This is because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network. The following virtual disk requirements apply to volumes that are used to store Exchange data.

  While I thought that the statement applied specifically to Exchange data, you can read this includes the OS data server as well (based on the second sentence in bold).  A customer was told by an engineer from MS that NAS storage was not at all based.  I disagree, because the recommended storage configuration is to separate the BONES of exchanging data anyway.

  Reference http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794548%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

  I'm all for pick up statements of support from MS and calling him on it, when the issue is raised in question and this one is no different.  I read the Data Exchange simply means that databases, newspapers, etc.  In fact they make it that some clearly in this statement:

  "The storage used by the Exchange guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or Hub transport queues)...". »

  There is no mention of the operating system being considered as Exchange data... which is not.  As for this one:

  "All storage used by a guest computer in Exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network."

  OK, this has been an attitude of long-standing support for MS, no biggie there since we have some that only qualified Data Exchange.  To the following:

  "In addition, NAS storage presented to the guest as block via the hypervisor level storage no is not supported."

  The key point here is that the NAS storage can be presented to a guest in two ways, one through the prompt (mounting storage NAS for Windows, that is, \\server\share) and another through the hypervisor (supported NFS VMDK).  In this statement, they are referring to the latter.  So, after all, this hike that my point is that it seems to me that the drive for your Exchange virtual computer operating system can absolutely be hosted on NAS-based storage and be supported.

  .. .then it's VMware spin on it, a little.  For Hub Transport, client access and stand-alone Mailbox servers, we have no problem with that.  We recommend, however, that if a clustering solution is deployed within the guest, i.e. DAG, you create the VMDK as eagerzeroedthick.  VMDK supported by NFS cannot be eagerzeroedthick, by our advice should not be hosted on NFS.  This little nugget of information is available here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1037959.  The reason behind this is when you use a disk virtual standard thickness blocks must be cancelled before the data is written, this (albeit low) latency is avoided by using the eagerzeroedthick option.  What we are proposing is avoid any additional latency that clusters tend to not like and zero all on.  BTW, we suggest this to any level of clustering, not just Exchange or MSCS comments.

• Exchange 2003 Auto supply: IOM

  I'm trying to configure a user for exchange 2003. I use Windows 2003. I can create an exchange successfully through IOM account if I have available manually.
  
  I created 2 strategies to access, one for the AD and the other for Exchange (priority 1 and 2). They are all two supposed to automatically provision a user in AD/Exchange as soon as the account is created in the IOM. Account AD gets provisioned successfully.
  
  However, the Exchange 2003 account is given rejected status on check user AD process. Then I tried to set the value based on Exchange resource object to the user AD via the console. Now, it gives me a wait status and never actually creates the mailbox.
  
  Help!

  Something to this effect has been set in one of the beams of the patch later to IOM 9.1

  Hello

  I have a java application to networking than woks with BES for Exchange. Can I assume that the same application works also with other i.e two flavors Domino and GroupWise.

  my application uses MDS and makes use of the BES network.

  Please clarify for me.

  Thank you

  The Mobile Data System (MDS) component of BlackBerry Enterprise Server offers the same features for Exchange, Domino and GroupWise flavors.  An application using the SDM as transport should work the same, regardless of the messaging platform.

I want to know is you can restore an old Exchange 2003 database in the Exchange 2010 recovery store, and if so what is the way forward. PS I use symantec backup exec 2010 R3 as backup software.

  If it is not possible, is there any other way to retrieve mailbox information

  Any help will be much appreciated.

• Exchange 2003 Server kept receiving unknown Email sending out through SMTP and the paper jam in the queue folder

  Hello Sir,

  I have a problem with one of my SBS Exchange 2003 servers.

  At first, I was getting a lot of 3008 errors for a non-delivery report with a status code of 5.0.0 was generated for recipient rfc822; address email is removed from the privacy * all these repeated error messages from the event log, SMTP and Exchange Routing service...

  I looked around and discovered more than 10000 .eml in my x:\program files\exchsrv\mailroot\queue folder.  At first, I thought that my server or one of my workstations was compromised, but all workstations have local antiviral software (symantec endpoint protection), my server software also has antiviral and I have a mail server antivirus (symantec endpoint protection).  I scanned all of the computers on the network and even tried almost all of them closing to see if new entries have been created in the queue.

  Unfortunately, more than entries kept by appearing so I kept looking.  By opening one of the .eml, I discovered my own responsibility that I attach to outgoing emails if I have my server acted as a mail relay.  I checked for this and I have been clean.  I kept searching in the .eml and discovered different origins IPs of the Internet.  Am I right to assume that my mail server is BOMBED or attacked with emails with false return addresses and my mail server sends return NDR for spammers/compromised machines on the net?  I tried to stop the exchange services and tried to rename the vsi file 1 to something else as one of the suggested MSKB, but the file was protected.  How can I stop this, it's slowing down my mail server and fill out my HD.  I can't block the IP to shippers because it comes from everywhere.  Help!  There are about 2 to 5 new .eml created every minute!

  TKS and best regards,
