July was definitely learning month: Learning the environment, infrastructure, protocols, people and politics. I have at least to say we successfully migrated all Law users while dynamically modifying our script to move mailboxes. Everytime we modify the script(s) we decreased the time and increased the number of mailboxes moved. It’s still a work in progress but feel we are close in reaching out target goal of speed and efficiency as we have begun to also move the some 3000 VU mailboxes.
I also built two new Exchange servers and used the build template to follow and tweak. Note to self!! Make sure Windows UAC is disabled when trying to install Exchange otherwise you will be chasing a wild goose.
Here is a link from one of my favorite reference/knowledge sites Petri. http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm
Still tweaking the Mail flow Visio diagram which is a work in progress but a great learning tool that forces me to learn the messaging environment at a much better level.
I also went on call for the first time which I am still learning the in’s/out’s of the piece of the email team.
Overall it was a great first and quick month here. I have lots to learn but have some great co-workers around me to pick their brain and ask questions.
See you next month,
