Re: Advice needed - running Exchange

100 GB is more than enough. We've been on Exchange about a year and are
only up to 4.7 GB - and our staff saves EVERYTHING. Granted, we only have 6
people, but that'd still only be about 30 GB for your 35 people. For long
term storage/growth, 100 GB is probably good.

As for POP, I kept it for a bit as a backup. Once we felt confortable, I cut
it off. One thing I did, on the recommendation from others on this NG, was
get a mail backup. I use dyndns.org. Great company. The only thing I've
got at the ISP is our website.

Let me know if you ahve other questions.

This is encouraging so far. I am running SBS 2003 Premium, and I set
aside a
100G partition for Exchange, do you think that will be good enough? Also,
do
you use the POP3 Connector to you ISP?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

I work for a small non-profit and we run SBS 2003 which has Exchange
2003
installed. We currently are not using Exchange, our e-mail is hosted
by
our
ISP. My boss wants to have outlook 2003 shared calendaring
functionality,
and I told him that was only available if we run Exchange. He's
concerned
about us hosting our own e-mail. I'm the only IT guy (35 employees in
the
organization) and he is worried about how much time it would take to
administer Exchange.

What would you suggest? I guess there are some 3rd party tools for
sharing
Outlook calendars, but I see additional benefits with Exchange (OWA,
etc).
I
also posted this on the Exchange Server newsgroup too, but figured this
might
be the better place.

Thanks,

Mike
