Is it possible to have some way to have a reduntant Exchange server? Be it offsite, or on another machine in my LAN. The other week I had my Exchange Server die, and it was down for 24 hrs. I want a solution to where if somethign like that happens again, users can point there outlook to the other machine and not have to worry about losing anything.

You can have clustering - both on site and geographically diverse, you can have a product like DoubleTake which replicates at block level, or you can have something like MessageOne which allows your users to crack on with working whilst you fix Exchange.
Yes, LifeKeeper for Exchange from SteelEye Technology (www.steeleye.com) can take care of this for you. You can have a redundant server either on the same LAN or in a different site across a WAN. Or, you can have 3 servers, one primary, one secondary in the same LAN, and then a third in a different site for disaster recovery purposes. Request an eval from our website and I will contact you personally to discuss further. David Bermingham MCSE, MCSA:Messaging www.steeleye.com
