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.

 

 

 

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
