<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the reply. I agree with you and I always preach to my customers to follow the design guides. This was a last minute "find" that everyone forgot to mention in the presales cycle and I am just looking for a quick way of getting them online until a more permanent (and correct) solution can be implemented. I hate to have this company all on Cisco Unified Communications except this one remote site.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I would recommend following the design guides. I have worked on several customers where if the initial installer would have followed the SRND they wouldn't need me to <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">hire</FONT> me to solve their problems. <BR><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking for recommendations for an issue I am having.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Scenario:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unity 5.0 UM server at HQ site talking to Exchange 2007 Partner server. Users homed on 2007 server as well as an additional Exchange 2003 server at HQ. These users function correctly and everything is great.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have a remote site that has an Exchange 2003 server in the same AD domain. Unity UM at HQ can not deliver voicemails to users homed on that remote server. TAC states that the reason is that MAPI is timing out to this remote Exchange server. Extended pings show an average of 40 - 50 ms response times. According to the design guide, MAPI requires less than 10 ms response times. Bottom line is TAC's recommendation is a Unity server next to any Exchange server that homes user's mailboxes. I see that in the design guide and can appreciate that, but this is an expensive undertaking for a site that only has 20 users on that remote Exchange server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my question is does anyone have any alternate suggestions, or working scenario of this setup? What are my options?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Unity UM server at remote location with networking to HQ Unity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Move remote Exchange server to HQ and force users to access Exchange over WAN.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Move remote user's mailboxes to HQ Exchange server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Any others?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
