Exchange 12 and 64-bit

Speaking of Migration - any news if E12 will support any "rapid" migration methods? While moving mailboxes works its a slow & tedious process It took us longer than expected to move 16,000 users (about 4TB of storage) to new EX2K3 hardware. Any news of a supported forklift procedure? With today's SAN technology it would be as easy as build a new server & migrate the disks to it instead of migrating one user at a time. This could cut down hardware refresh/migration time to mins, not weeks/months.

Just wanted to add my 2 bits.

Warmest regards,

Who was the insane person who wants Outlook...a client app on a server? Mapi profiles can be used for SQL mail.

I'm sorry but just because we admins are stupid enough to ask for something doesn't mean you guys should do it.

A server is a server and should not be running a client app that can introduce vulnerabilties.

Re: 3rd Parties. Even though RIM and MS are competitors, I hope you are going to ensure that E12 works nicely with BES. Our org cannot live without it.

Outlook on a server? I would fire someone for doing such a dumb thing.

Regarding Outlook on a server... on a limited basis for testing or a specific purpose, I don't really see an issue. On a critical production server, I admit it is a bad idea.

Regardind Outlook on a server: It's not always the "stupid" admins... It's also 3rd Parties requiring Outlook to be installed on the exchange server... For example Backup Agents for Brick Level Backups...

What about running Exchange Server 2003 on Windows Server 2003 x64 inside WOW64? The /LARGEADDRESSAWARE applicatons, including Exchange Server 2003, will get a full 4 GB of virtual address space, and all applications will still get the benifits of the larger 64-bit kernel address space.

You suggest to buy Intel EM64T and AMD64 processors and not Itanium to be E12-proof.

What is the reason for this recommedation ?

re: Exchange 12 and 64-bit

Tony Redmond — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 17:34:40 GMT

Re IA64, HP believes that Microsoft has no plans to produce a version of Exchange 12 that runs on Itanium. This makes sense because relatively few people use Itanium to run Windows... I think that the real issue is to make sure that Exchange runs well on the Intel and AMD x64 mainstream processors before seeking to conquer the entire 64- bit world.

It just affirms that this is one of the best sources of information for Exchange on the web.
Thanks to all for all the great content.

Does the MAPI subsystem of Exchange12 support Unicode services as Outlook 2003's does?

I guess the move for providing the ability to run Outlook on Exchange12 has got more than a testing perspective as Mr.Christian Schindler said.

Although I haven't seen it mentioned, is there any chance that E12 will support clustering of Exchange *data* and/or replication of mailboxes to multiple servers to provide redundancy and failover? Thanks.

re: Exchange 12 and 64-bit

Paul Robichaux — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 18:32:56 GMT

Scott: yes, E12 includes some new redundancy features. MS hasn't talked much about the details, but the feature you're interested in is the continuous protection feature-- look for more details here in the future, as I'm sure it's something they're eager to talk about.

Marcus Souto Jentzsch — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 18:53:55 GMT

I´m starting to plan a new Exchange Server Deployement in my company and I wanted do purchase new hardware to install Exchange Server 2003 and later have the ability to upgrade to this new E12 version on the same hardware. It seems that this is not possible due to the fact that E2k3 runs exclusively on 32 bits procesor and E12 will run exclusively on 64 bits processor. This doesn´t make sense to me. Is there a solution to this problem?

re: Exchange 12 and 64-bit

Exchange — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 20:00:13 GMT

Marcus,

Yes, you should buy 64 bit hardware. Note though that the x64 is the way to go as far as Exchange is concerned, as Exchange 12 will not run on I64. x64 can run 32 bit Windows and Exchange 2003 until you are ready to move to 64 bit Windows with Exchange 12. Please see the following for more information:

Existing (In use) X64 compatible hardware is a bit of a waste of time isnt it, when the only way to migrate is to "move mailboxes" to a new Windows/Exchange12 64bit server !
I understand the concept if an in place upgrade were available. And I understand the reasons why you couldn't (That is unless there is a new approach to upgrading). Ex2000/2003 has kernel drivers, thus needs a 32bit kernel and obviously 64bit Ex wouldn't work under a 32bit OS. And so on

I know, use a swing server.....

Just thought I'd comment...

Hey will there be a way to Disaster Recovery to a 64bit/Ex12 version ?

And at the same time have E12 compatible with Exchange2003 databases, or upgrade them when detected ?

I think you get what I mean right ?

re: Exchange 12 and 64-bit

Exchange — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 02:26:35 GMT

Craig,

If you mean if "In case that E2003 server goes down if you will be able to bring up an E12 server in it's place by running a /disasterrecovery setup from E12" the answer would be nope - this is not a tested scenario or something E12 is designed to do.

At this time I do not know what would happen if you restored an E2003 database to an E12 server and tried to start it up.

Is there any more information you can share regarding the following snip from this entry?

"with a 64-bit OS vs. the 32-bit OS, our current tests show a >70% reduction in IOPS/user."

For those of us in a storage platform upgrade/purchase cycle this info will durastically impact spindle type purchased. Considering magnitude of this investment any info you can provide now regarding IOPS reduction greatly appreciated.

JFN — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 01:54:51 GMT

First) The IT folks who are wondering why Microsoft made it possible for Outlook to be installed on the same system have obviously not worked as an Exchange admin for long or they would understand that some programs require this program. It's not so you can read your email. "duh"

Second) The one thing that wasn't mentioned here is the ability to fail over an exchange server in a none clustered environment without effecting your users. For that alone it is worth purchasing. We will be implementing this solution when E12 is released.
