What operating system to use for Exchange 2010?

I'm currently in the planning/design phase of implementation of our new Exchange 2010 server.  Our current environment using Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003.

Exchange 2010 is 64-bit, I want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, but my question is... do I install Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise?... What is the main difference between the 2 platforms, OS should I consider before decide me which one to go with?

I searched online for a while and can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question, or at least a logical explanation that would allow me to determine which is best for what I want.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

-Angel

The main difference between the medium Standard and Enterprise's clustering and memory. It was a big difference in Windows 2003, if you need more than 4 GB of memory. With Windows 2008 x 64 I think 16 GB of memory allows to use this grouping is the $ 64 question. You do cluster CCR or SCR with Exchange 2010?

    Pass Vista (requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM) and install Windows 7 (just 1 GB of memory for the 32-bit version).  If you buy the "Full" version (not the upgrade version) from Windows 7, you can Dual Boot between XP and Windows 7 (not all XP software will be running in Windows 7 and dual-boot will allow you to continue to use any software that you place a high value on the). More information on dual-boot below.

    You must first check if your Windows XP-based computer supports Windows 7  Go the the computer manufacturing technical support web site and see if they list Windows 7 device drivers. No driver Windows 7 means that you can not (the most often install Windows 7, if this isn't the case find Vista drivers).

  • disk space issues: How can I find out which components of the operating system I use is more to free additional disk space?

    HI: I have problems with disk space; I went to Windows Help and read that if I go into Add/Remove programs who said I could remove programs or components of operating system I no longer use. I remove some programs that I don't use anymore, but I do not know what operating system components I should delete!  Little help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Before you remove the services I would remove all but the most recent backup and restore point.  Then make a disk for temporary files Cleanup Wizard.  You can make you smaller file page, if you do not use put into hibernation, you can save 4-8 space gigis.

    Hello

    This may depend on your condition. If the computer on which you want to install the new operating system is for typical home use, then you may want to buy Windows 7 rather than Windows Server 2008.

    Also, please take a look at the underside of the articles that might help you to choose the operating system.

  • Can we synchronize permission selected with the settings of operating system Notifications BB10 for our Application.

    Steps to follow:
    BB10 device--> settings--> Notifications--> Applications--> [name of your application]--> all alerts [Toggle button]

    I have an obligation to check whether or not 'All alerts' is allowed through settings when the application is running. To check if we can synchronize permission selected with the settings of operating system Notifications BB10 for my application. How to get javascript code if alerts permission is on / off, while the application is running.

    I tried adding the blackberry.system function and tried to hasPermission (blackberry.push) also, I can't determine if permission is allow / prohibit... Please suggest how to get that.

    I don't see a WebWorks API for this. If I expected to be anywhere, it's here:
    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/HTML5/APIs/beta/BlackBerry.notification.html#jbo1385148829097

    But it seems that this API has not been fully implemented; It may be useful to connect a developer Issue Tracker JIRA to get this feature added.

    At the same time, there is this API of Cascades that looks like what you're looking for:
    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/native/reference/Cascades/bb__platform__notificationapplicationsett...

    Write an extension for this feature should allow you to access this feature:
    https://github.com/BlackBerry/WebWorks-community-APIs/tree/master/BB10-Cordova/template

    At the same time, a colleague is currently working on an extension that should open many features of Qt, and I think that the API above should be accessible through this extension. He must be released over the next week or two, so you can wait for that as well.

    EDIT: On this last point, see this extension which provides a mechanism for attaching in the majority of the Qt APIs.

  • In-Guest iSCSI for Exchange 2010

    Hi, we just built and are ready to go into production with Exchange 2010 using LUNS in guest through the card Microsoft iSCSI initiator iSCSI separate network for iSCSI etc. Load tested with JetStress and everything seems fine. We just found out as snapshots are not supported with iSCSI in guest so we are concerned that the other things work or be taken in charge or another, i.e. of vmotion. So, does anyone know if we lose any other characteristic, and we need to change our minds and using ESX iSCSI? I read pieces on being comparable, that we stuck with a guest performance because that's what we know with our existing Exchange 2007 environment (physical). If we must change, is it simple?

    Hey everyone who is following this thread or found via Google.  It is important to understand what is and is not supported when you are running Exchange on a virtual machine.

    To be absolutely clear, combining Exchange 2010 DAG and migration technologies such as vMotion technology is supported.  You must ensure that you are running at least Exchange 2010 SP1 as well as a version of vSphere that sits on the server virtualization Validation program.

    I think that the link was already posted, but here is the final link:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Exchange/archive/2011/05/16/announcing-enhanced-hardware-virtualization-support-for-Exchange-2010.aspx

    More specifically, since the post above (in bold italics):

    Combining Exchange 2010 high availability solutions (database availability groups (DAG)) with hypervisor clustering high availability and migration solutions that will be moving or automatically failover servers for mailboxes that are members of a DAG between clustered root servers, is now supported.

    Improved, that we did in Exchange Server 2010 SP1, with more comprehensive tests of Exchange 2010 in an environment that is virtualized, we are pleased to offer this additional deployment flexibility to our customers. Management of updated support applies to any provider of hardware virtualization that participate in the Windows Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP).

    Logiboy123, can you provide any documents to support the statement that Microsoft does not support this configuration?  The above quotes are directly from Microsoft and are very clear that they support not only the migration of Microsoft technology, but also similar to any other provider of the hypervisor technology, provided that they are in the SVVP program.

    Since vSphere is part of the SVVP, Microsoft has extended support for the technologies of migration such as vMotion, in addition to their own Live Migration.  Of course, simply support something does not automatically make it works.  If you want knots vMotion DAG works correctly, you might have settings described in this blog post extended the cluster heartbeat timeout (also a fully supported configuration change):

    http://www.thelowercasew.com/vSphere-and-Exchange-Admins-can-live-in-harmony-Microsoft-finally-supports-HA-and-VMotion

    To answer the original question in this post, using the Protocol in-guest iSCSI is supported and with vMotion in this configuration is supported as well.  You're not really 'give up whatever it is' using this configuration well so if it meets your needs, I would stick with it.  I prefer generally VMFS just because of the flexibility it offers, but all the world has different requirements and I have absolutely no problem with guest iSCSI if your organization requires it.

    Do not forget that whatever configuration, snapshots of virtual machine are not supported for Exchange. Here is another post which goes into detail on it and cover the declaration of support for Microsoft Exchange 2010 snapshots and machine virtual: http://www.thelowercasew.com/virtual-machine-snapshots-and-tier-1-apps-not-always-supported

    So in general, I would say that provided you are running the correct versions of Exchange and vSphere must then take full advantage of your configuration to use features like vMotion and HA without problem.  If you adjust your settings accordingly cluster heartbeat timeout, you should have no problem using vMotion with your knots of DAG.

    I was installing on a Linux 32-bit operating system when I created the doc. You can start with 12.0.4 for Linux x 86-64, but keep in mind that you want more memory on the server to take advantage of the possibilities of 64-bit memory allocation. Your CMS database will not be limited to 1.7 or 2.5 GB, and you won't have to waste his time with the base RAID card ETC.

    Memory is cheap. Add another 4 or 12 GB of RAM for this box if you want acceptable performance, unless you expect only to have a few simultaneous users.
