What's your experience been like using Outlook 2007 against a hosted Exchange Server 2007?
Jun 04, 2008 by Ryan | Posted in Computer Networking
We're looking at upgrading our society from POP to hosted exchange. Are there any major downsides that aren't publicized by the hosting vendors?
The crucial disadvantage over using Exchange in-house is the fact that you're relying on a third party for what is possibly one of your most key business tools (email).
Check your contract carefully and remember cheapest may not be most talented (they may for example say 99% uptime, which is still a three or four days a year without email!)
Also note that Exchange can be a bit of a pig when it comes to bandwidth and traffic, so certain that if there's a lot of you connecting to the hosted server you have the bandwidth to do so (sharing calendars etc otherwise is miserable).
Finally, be enlightened that any changes and additional users may be subject to a change control with the hosted provider (so may take a week or more to get things changed!)
However, as you're using POP at the note, you'll find hosted exchange far superior to your current email situation and the addition of items like calendaring and shared folders will be a suffered break. You should check to see if your provider offers mobile email as well for smartphones.

Hosting a microsoft exchange server...?
Aug 17, 2006 by rizwan602 | Posted in Software
Hello,
We have a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server setting with approximately 8 Windows 2000 servers and 80 workstations.
We are not running Effective Directory or any domain based policies. Its a simple network really. We currently use Angle 2003 with POP3 email that is hosted by our ISP.
We want to deploy Microsoft Exchange server so that Outlook 2003 can use more advanced features like calendaring, etc. We poverty to also have Outlook Web Access.
Do we need to convert to active directory, or can I do this without having to metamorphose right now?
Please advise ... thank you!
You must have agile directory to use exchange server 2000 or 2003. It is not very difficult to install active directory unusually if you don't plan to use group policies but if you do decide to deploy it I would recommend using a 2003 server as the dominion controller as there are many improvements to active directory from 2000.

How do you host a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 enterprise edition using a dynamic IP Address.?

I would like to horde my exchange mail server with the name: https://mail.stevenage365.co.uk/exchnage/ but i am using a emphatic IP address. Can anyone help?
James mansell
There are DNS services that will let you host a web purlieus or service using a dynamic IP, but because of the way DNS changes propagate you won't get reliable service.
