I just deployed exchange 2007
and it is in production now, about half of our users have been migrated to it
already.
To answer your questions
1)
Yes mailbox quotas
are set at 2GB with a couple exceptions for a handful that have mailboxes
slightly bigger.
2)
We are using the
Ninja Blade appliance and it is working great
3)
We have limited
attachment sizes to 50MB because we don’t want people sending movies and
other huge things however many presentation and etc can quickly exceed 10MB.
4)
We allow connections
from outlook and any client that supports IMAP (yes even Pine) using SSL and
TLS for SMTP
If you have any other questions
or just wanna chit chat about exchange shoot me a call anytime!
My exchange system is running on
server 2008 and overall its fabulous, there are a couple little things you have
to get past that can cause troubles but once you do that its great, I am very
happy with it.
I am using Data Protection
Manager 2007 to backup the exchange system as well…great program!
What kind of storage did you use
for your setup? Lets chat.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Exchange Questions
All,
As the final testing phase of our new Exchange 2007 environment is ramping down
and I’m deciding the final settings for the production environment, I
have a couple questions that I was hoping to get some feedback on from other
Exchange admins around campus:
1) Are
you setting mailbox quotas, and if so, how large are you setting them?
2) What
are you using for antispam/antivirus?
3) What
are you limiting attachment sizes to? I’m sure my send limit will
end up at 10MB because MSU’s limit is 10MB for receiving, but I’m certain
that the receive limit will be greater than that since 10MB is not really all
that large anymore.
4) Does
anyone allow users to connect from other clients aside from Outlook via IMAP or
POP?
I think that about does it for now. Since this is a
brand new installation, not an upgrade, any other feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
Jon
