6. The Set-up for the Demos

7. Exchange Preparation Preparatory Tasks Clear out the rubbish Remove the old users Reduce the Database Turn off Deleted Item Retention Off Line Defrag!

8. Spring Cleaning How can the data be reduced?

9. Deleted Item Retention View server space used by deleted item retention Open Performance Monitor, Add, select the Exchange server. In the Performance Object box, select MSExchangeIS Private, Total Size Of Recoverable Items. For the Public Store, select MSExchangeIS Public as the Performance Object You can also use the Exchange Administrator program to look at deleted items. Exchange Administrator program, server, Private Information Store, properties. On the Mailbox Resources tab, click Columns. In the left pane, select Deleted Items K, click Add, and click OK. You'll have a sortable column that displays the amount of space that deleted items take up in each mailbox. For the Public Information Store: Exchange Administrator, properties of the Public Information Store, and follow the same as above.

10. Purge! Open the Exchange System Manager, the Mailbox Store, and right-click the Mailboxes view. From the context menu, select Run Cleanup Agent. When an icon of a mailbox with a red X over it replaces the normal mailbox icon, right-click the mailbox, and select Purge.

12. Simple But Brilliant �Live Data� and how to get it

13. Reduce the Database The database file sizes will not shrink after mailboxes are deleted or removed. The data will be deleted and the space will be reused, but the Exchange Server computer will not reduce the file size online. To reduce the file size, it is necessary to take the system offline and run an offline defragmentation on the Priv.edb database. If the services are stopped immediately after the deletion is finished, the file size may not be reduced by the offline defragmentation process. This is because, when a mailbox is deleted, it is only marked for deletion. Data deletion is done by a background thread and space is not freed up until after the background process has deleted the data. To reclaim the space after the deletion of several mailboxes, wait for at least ten minutes before stopping the Information Store service. Then defragment the database offline using the command ESEUTIL /d. 

14. Reduce the Database DEFRAGMENTATION (D) DEFRAGMENTATION/COMPACTION: DESCRIPTION: Performs off-line compaction of a database. SYNTAX: ESEUTIL /d <database name> [options] PARAMETERS: <database name> - filename of database to compact, or one of /ispriv, /ispub, or /ds (see NOTES below) OPTIONS: zero or more of the following switches, separated by a space: /l<path> - location of log files (default: current directory) /s<path> - location of system files (e.g., checkpoint file) (default: current directory) /b<db> - make backup copy under the specified name /t<db> - set temp. database name (default: TEMPDFRG.EDB) /p - preserve temporary database (i.e., don't instate) /o - suppress logo NOTE: The switches /ispriv, /ispub, and /ds use the Registry to automatically set the database name, log file path, and system file path for the appropriate Exchange store. 

15. Clear old messages (all over 365) a) full backup of all mailboxes b) delete all messages over 360 days c) restore individual message for user Delete a user � Run database reduce to recover space. Off Line defrag Clear old messages (all over 365) a) full backup of all mailboxes b) delete all messages over 360 days c) restore individual message for user Delete a user � Run database reduce to recover space. Off Line defrag

16. Preparing GroupWise

17. The Story

18. Coexistence - Messaging SMTP Lowest common denominator

19. Coexistence Inbound Internet Mail Requirements Mail routed to current users in Exchange Mail routed to Migrated users in GroupWise

20. Forwarding

21. Forward Undeliverable To (FUT) Configured on the properties of the GWIA Use an IP address Rather than DNS name No mail if you are unable to do DNS lookups

22. Add LDAP Address Book to GW Client Manually in the Address Book Registry entries HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Internet Directory\ Setup.cfg

23. Outlook LDAP Address Book Add to the Outlook Profile

24. Route.cfg Routes messages directly to hosts Ignores DNS & mail relay Route.cfg Stored in GWIA directory Ensure Hard Return after last entry IP addresses in square brackets

25. External Users - GroupWise Creating External Users in GroupWise Create non-GroupWise domain Create external post office Create external users Multiple users can be imported

26. Importing Multiple Users Import/Export utility Available for download from http://download.novell.com/ Imports comma delimited file API gateway Available for download from http://developer.novell.com/ndk/unsupported.htm Imports API formatted file

27. API Gateway Place formatted file in the API_IN directory

28. External Users - Exchange Creating external users Create custom recipients Can import a comma delimited file

29. Coexistence

30. Third Party Split

31. Coexistence � Distribution Lists Objective

32. GroupWise Maintaining Distribution Lists

33. Exchange Maintaining Distribution Lists

34. Exchange Gateway 2.01
