I used this tool this morning to adjust some settings on my server, and it made our production Exchange 2007 server MUCH more reliable. For example:
- Now Exchange Server processes can use ALL the memory which is normally reserved for OS Kernel space and system processes.
- I am able to greet my users with random RPC dialog boxes after delaying Outlook/OWA login for 7 minutes.
- I have also found that the "Randomly disconnect clients" option is good for remote employees who we think may be slacking off. This option is good to keep them on their toes.
- I have found that the "Service startup options" setting has no effect. I have already submitted the bug report. No matter which setting I select, the Exchange services still hang at 66% when either starting OR stopping. I hope the Exchange team can fix this.
- I also LOVE the feature to disable the management GUI. With the new Exchange PowerShell commandlets, no administrator should EVER need a GUI environment anyway.
Keep up the good work Exchange team!
