Microsoft Exchange Server


Today, we are upgrading our email service in the UK, NZ and India to utilise Microsoft Exchange Server from a single box.

Remote configuration of servers and email accounts in any environment can be complex. Co-ordinating that across multiple time zones creates even more potential pitfalls. The new DNS can take up to 24 hours to propogate across all the Net and support is not yet 24/7.

The new mail boxes have been set up. The next few hours will determine the impact on both the network and the performance of our systems. This is not an exercise I want to repeat any time soon.
