Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Badger follies - funny for the IT geeks.

So I got a new laptop.
We are allowed about 250K kbs (or whatever it is) for our mailboxes. When it gets to a certain point you get a warning...if you go past it you can't send or receive until you clean up. So along the way I have built 3-4 years of personal archive folders that reside on my hard drive rather than the server. I get my warning and I make a new archive folder (late 2011 in or early 2012 out, etc). I need these e-mails, you never know when you will need what but I save every one that is business related.
So I got my new laptop and went looking for a tutorial to move them from one to the other. I got some insctructions but they were a little convoluted and some actually conflicted with others...so sort of following the instructions I went into import export and "viola!" there was an Archive file.
Which I saved and promptly imported into my new Outlook, very proud of myself when it seemed to be working.
Along I go, doing various things when I happen to look at the folder structure on my new laptop...and see that I have imported my last 4 years of e-mails directly into my main folder and therefore onto the main server in Dallas. The one that limits me to 250K.
The one which now holds 3.4 million of my e-mails rather than 250K. :0
I had to delete them manually and then wait for exchange to synch after each folder. It took several hours but at least when Dallas opened on Monday I was back to normal.
Why didn't the server stop me? I put 3.4 million on there and could still get mail for about an hour or so. 
And here I am with those folders still needing to transfer and me afraid to do it. I don't want to put them back on the server, IT will kill me!

If its running Exchange 2010 the database limit is much more than it predecessors. Also, us IT admins usually do not tell our users they have unlimited space for emails, couldn't imagine the headache if everyone knew they could send 50MB attachments.
You can also save your emails to a local file (.pst) and move that over to your new laptop and just link it in Outlook. Just don't lose your laptop since the file exists on it and not on the server.
