Hello,

I need to provide Exchange services for an organistion that has offices in
US, UK and Belgium. What are the possible solutions?
First I thought about setting one Exchnage server for each location.
VPN, pop3, https? In case of using vpn I'm afraid the link will be
overloaded with the traffic between Exchange servers - is there a
possibility to limit it to a certain level (500 kbps)?

Also how safe is the use of connection to Exchange Server over https?

Thanks,
Yevgeniy

You can probably get away with locating your Exchange servers in your
largest location and then have the remove clients use RPC over HTTPS (or
just RPC) to connect to the Exchange server. RPC over HTTPS works pretty
well over low speed links (less than 64KB of availble bandwidth) provided
not too many clients are using it. How many people are in each office?

Jim, thanks for the reply.
There are about 80 people in each office but I'm almost sure a lot of them
will need to exchange e-mails with attachments up to 10 MB. I'm wondering
about how huge companies (Dell for example) handle their e-mail issue. All
users over the world have an e-mail address like ...@Dell.com. Assuming
there is only one Exchange Server that is responsible for receiving the
e-mail how it then distributed to all people over the world?

Thanks,
Yevgeniy
