Exchange Webinar 18 juni 2014

Op 18 juni 2014 heb ik voor Kemp Technologies een Nederlandstalig webinar gegeven over Load Balancing. De insteek was meer Load Balancing in het algemeen en daarna een insteek richting Exchange.

Ik heb geprobeerd wat te vertellen over Load Balancing technieken zoals One Arm vs Two Arm, persistence, VIP en Real Server en Layer-4 versus Layer-7. Daarna heb ik een vertaalslag gemaakt richting Exchange 2010 en Exchange 2013.

De presentatie kun je hier downloaden http://bit.ly/KempExWebinar. Het webinar is ook opgenomen, maar ergens in een omzettingsproces verloren gegaan en is dus niet beschikbaar, da’s jammer.

Heb je nog aanvullende vragen of onderwerpen voor een toekomstige blog, je kan me vinden op Twitter via @jaapwess of mail me op mail[at]jaapwesselius.com.

Login failed because the mailbox you tried to access is being moved

In preparation of a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 (interorg, so new Active Directory and new Exchange deployment) I had to clean up the Exchange 2007 environment. There was one user that had a 4.5GB Mailbox with over 50,000 items in.
