Re: To Exchange or not to Exchange

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Somebody has to know mDaemon ;-0.

mDaemon is a good product, but putting it on SBS is ....... um ...... kinda
like taking the engine out of your new Chev and putting a Chrysler in it's
place simply becasue you're more familiar with the Chyrysler. Of course,
none of the integration Chev designed works anymore ;-).

If there are any consistent probems with Exchange on SBS, then it's been
misconfigured. Exchange is designed to efficiently handle hundreds, even
thousands of users. It doesn't even warm up in an SBS environment.

With SBS, the remote administration capabilities are such that a biz doesn't
need an on-site administrator. That's the whole point of remote
administration.

C'mon folks, you're doing your clients a disservice.
