Hello everyone,
Been busy with a few contracts, but I'd like to ask the list for some
suggestions/recommendations and leave a few comments of my own.
I have a client with over 1700 users on Exchange2000 and when I audited them,
they only had 10 licenses... oops. So I have them sold on going to the linux
platform and using qmail or sendmail. I think qmail would work fine, but
they will be expanding up to 5000 users over the next couple years.
Question: will this work on a single box reliably? It's a dual 1.7 with a
raid5 configuration and 1.2 gigs RAM. Simple email is all it will do.
Question: Is there any conversion I can do or using tab delimited text files
from active directory or is it a start from scratch proposition? User names
or accounts or even the mail files?
Comment: If there aren't then shouldn't there be? I'm thinking of the admin
with 1,000+ users saying "NO WAY am i going to do this conversion, It would
take forever!"
Question: Anyone have experience doing this?
Any help would be appreciated, expecially going forward. While I will support
a client's Microsoft base, I always recommend a Linux solution but this is
the first Medium sized taker I've encountered. Maybe someone knows of a
knowledge base that tackles small, medium, large and enterprise class
conversions ( Sales tactics, implementation, and client education )
Okay so my questions and comments are all mixed up, but I hope you get the
gist of what I'm trying to find out here.
Again, ANY help is appreciated. I am doing research on my own but the voice
of experience is, to me, a better resource, expecially when geographically
close.
Thanks in advance,
anthony
