So, who's deployed Exchange 2010 yet?

[paradigm]

Just working on my first deployment of Exchange 2010, nicely timed with the creation of an entirely new network, being built from the ground up to replace a broken, corrupt (and unlicensed!) AD structure that has been badly implemented.

I've used 2010 before in its pre-release states and to me, it is muchlike win7 vs Vista, a polished and working version of what the previous should have been.

So far, thumbs-up.

Oh and DAG's are sooooooo much nicer than CCR clusters.

Unlicensed eh? tut tut

Most of our clients still run 2k3 so no... not yet.

Which were so much nicer than SCC clusters. I'd love to get 2010 installed, but 2007 is working nicely for us at the moment, and with exchange being tied into our phone system we will have to wait for that to support 2010 before even thinking about changing.

First thing I sorted was a rather large capex document for purchase of a rather large amount of MVLS.

We are at the start (well not quite the start) of a migration from Novell to Microsoft and we planned going to 2007 however because the migration has slipped we may go straight to 2010 asuming the Quest tools support GroupWise -> Exchange 2010.

I'm getting the dreaded 0X80190194 sync error that I used to get on Exchange 2007 CCR clusters (the error relating to the inability to sync the OAB, because the CA server cannot access the share on the \\Clustername UNC).

Except this is different, the mailbox servers don't seem to contain an OAB folder anywhere locally, which is confusing

EDIT: Sorted that

Woo, its up and running, just need to sort out the accepted domains and set up some rules delegating who gets what addresses.

Not yet.

Definitely within the next 12 months.

Keep us posted on how you're finding it!

Given the fairly recent release, I suspect those with it in production are limited to those with very small networks (and hence not too many support headaches) and the clinically insane. We'll skip 2007 and go straight to 2010 but I wouldn't want to touch it for production till middle of next year or so, I'm happy to let somebody else deal with the early adopter headaches....

We are still on 2003 here and we have only just started thinking about 2007 now

heh sounds a little similar to when I started. Still, an enterprise agreement later and it's all ok, for now..
