[Tfug] MS Exchange

[Tim Ottinger]

My only experience is that when exchange comes in the door, we lose one
admin.
Sort of like you lose a manager with MS Project gets involved.  Someone
spends
80% of their time just feeding the beast.  Between certifications, upkeep,
and
troubleshooting, we always lose one man.  I'm not an admin, so I don't know
how
bad it is, but all the administrators I know complain about it all the time.

sorry nothing more useful to offer.
