I know it is possible to set up individual GALS that people see so students
only see students and Teachers see everyone.
There are also ways to limit who can send to who but it takes some work from
my understanding. it has been a while since I have done the GAL thing but
microsoft has some really good white papers on GAL setup and programming
Hopefully the MVP's can remember a link or two

Ed,
Ok, so if I create a new store for the student accounts, which sounds like
a
good idea, is there a separate GAL for each store, or is it all one big
happy
GAL? I have a meeting on Friday which will determine if we want the
students
to have access to the faculty and staff lists, so I need to know before
then
what our options are. One other thing that will be important is the
ability
for faculty/staff to look up students via a list of some sort, I assume
the
GAL?

We are running Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition in single server,
single
site
mode., with AV and antispyware running locally on the server as well.
There
are about 500 accounts for faculty and staff and the server runs fine
with
little performance issues. The server is a Dell PowerEdge 2850, with a
dual
Xeon 2.8 Ghz processor, 4 GB memory, 300 GB disk space, with 250 GB
being
free. Just today it was requested that we create Exchange accounts for
~200
graduate students on this server.
Given the information above I am interested in what the experts on this
list
think would be the best route to go in regards to creating the accounts
in
a
separate storage group etc. If I create a new storage group for just
the
student accounts will they be able to get the same information from the
Global Address List, Public Folders etc. as if they were in the "main"
storage group with the rest of the faculty and staff accounts?
Yes.
If so, is this
the best practice?
Not necessarily. What do you think you're getting by putting them in a
separate storage group? If you do that, you're going to want to have a
separate physical drive for the new set of transaction logs. One idea
I've
seen is to use a separate mailbox store(s) (not necessarily storage
groups)
if you want to give this class of users a different mailbox quota so you
don't have to manage individual quotas. You can enforce the quota on the
store.
If I create the students in the "main" storage group with
the rest of the accounts, is there a way to restrict them from seeing
the
Global Address List, assuming this is what we needed?
Yes, you can create different address lists and restrict their view to
the
appropriate audiences, but it's rather tricky. Check out the Microsoft
Exchange Site's whitepapers on hosting. This feature has nothing to do
with
the store or storage group on which you put their mailboxes, however.
TIA,
Jim
