Hi there, New to the list.. Just in the process of installing Microsoft Small Business Server. Chosen server is Compaq Proliant 1600 (PII 266MHz) with 18GB hd; 512MB RAM. Server is currently PDC in NT4 domain and will be upgraded to Win2K with AD. To serve +/-30 users at a single site. Interested in any comments, heads-ups, look-outs and even amusing anecdotes ;) Also wondering: 1. if NTBackup and the exchange component is sufficient for backup of Exchange. If not, what is recommended. 2. How feasible and affordable running ISA server across our ADSL connection is, for allowing remote collection of mail. 3. Outlook Exchange client for MAC - we have about 15 Mac (OS 9.2.2) computers onsite, does anyone have experience with integrating these alongside PCs for shared calendaring? 4. Our main reason for wanting to backup email is for archival and retrieval purposes. Because email can be used as legal evidence, company policy is to keep all email and I would potentially need to be able to retrieve a users email (in and out going) from a specific date-range off tape. Is this feasible with any sort of Exchange backup to tape? If not, what would you recommend? Thanks and apologies in advance, respectively for replies and any old flame topics I might have inadvertently raised. Noel da Costa IT Manager H D G R O U P www.hdgroup.co.uk
