Yes my point exactly, MS is protecting themselves. Is anyone running Exchange with/without issues. As for Oracle on NetApp I heard it doesn't like high transaction dbases. What is the ideal place for Exchange dbase ?(my bet EMC since that pretty close to have local disk)

My thoughts are that any article that refers to gigabit Ethernet as an "emerging technology" is highly suspect.
I wonder if Microsoft is trying to insinuate that Oracle databases (which can run over NAS) are less "robust" and "high-performance" than their jet-based exchange DB, which allegedly can't.
Having said that, I probably wouldn't put my Exchange DBs on a filer. Too much risk of something going wrong and MS saying "Sorry, we told you not to. You're on your own."
Hi,
We have it running on a couple, going to move the enterprise over "real soon now", apparently they want to do it on win2k and exchange 5.5.
I am not an NT guy, I'm unix and wan, but my sr NT guy just wrote when queried:
No problems at all migrating over to, and running off of the netapp, the only problem we ran into was when restoring a single user's mailbox, the drive mapping letter has to be the same on the recovery box as the production box
HTH.

Any thoughts on this from anyone one... why is NetApps saying they are working with MS on this issue? doesn't sound like it from this KB article...
