I love this one:
"Don't piss off PSS."
There is nothing worse than suffering the wrath of a PSS person, especially
when they are telling you what to do :-)

Don't buy standard -- you'll upgrade to enterprise soon enough
Don't remove the first exchange server in the group until you've done
everything you are supposed to!
Look at your perfmon stats
Look at your db size
Use Deleted Item Retention
Don't do Brick Level Backups
Do backups
Use SSL for OWA
Don't relay
Use strong passwords
Upgrade to Exchange 2003 as soon as you can
Test your recovery process
Have written policies defining email usage for your organization
Have valid RDNS
Use Outlook 2003 and consolidate servers with Exchange 2003
Don't piss off PSS.
Buy software assurance.
:-)

Don't delete the (supposedly unneeded) log files, I love that question

OK guys and gals, here is your challenge for today, I am writing an article
at the moment about the does and don't with Exchange 2000/2003, such as,
Don't perform a file-level AV scan of the databases and logs, don't perform
offline backups etc etc
So, what are your favorite does and don'ts, I will make sure you are
mentioned in the article :-)
Thanks
