EXCHANGE 2003 OFFLINE MAINTANANCE
Hey guys,
I am going to take my one exchange 2003 server offline to do some maintance on it. Anyone suggest the best way to do it? and how long will it take?
I have about 200 users use OWA add-in?
Any pit falls or no-no's i should know about.
Cheers EVERYONE..
Matt

How long it will take varies greatly depending on how fast your disk I/O is, how big the mail stores are, how much white space you have, how much logical corruption in the DB's there are, etc. I wouldn't even want to venture a guess.
Dismount your datastores gracefully before you begin.
Make sure you know your command lines.
Run ISINTEG after you run ESEUTIL since you're taking it offline. Might as well take care of logical corruption while you're at it if mail service is going down.Good luck to all! -

...and for God's sake make sure you take a full backup of everything before hand.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
