EV 2007 for Exchange 2003 - gauging perfromance gains - question
Hello,
I've been archiving with EV 2007 SP4 for about 6 months now. The last month I've really gotten agressive with archiving due to disk I/O problems with my exchange server. The results are that things are running better but still not optimal. What I've realized as that while my mailboxes/stores have been reduced drastically I still have so many items in Exchange. I'm wondering if others have seen this and if they've turned/removed off shortcuts - maybe forcing users to seach the vault using their browser?
In reading best practices for Exhchange performace they reccomend no more than 5000 itmes in a mailbox. I've got some users with 200-300MB mailboxes but 30,000 items. I wonder how much archiving is really helping???
Just wanted to get some high level thoughts.
Thanks for any input-
