CCH1 has quieted the masses here and for the time being all the pitchforks have been retired. I was a little disappointed that so many things broke between 8.01 and 8.02 but glad that IBM relatively quickly realized the issue. I'm guessing they must have had more pitchforks aimed at them than I did with my little user community. That said, I felt I should point out that the IBM Lotus Support I received was amazing. I blogged recently about the less than stellar performance last month, but they more than made up for it recently. I wish you could request people by name when you have an issue :(
On to my new title.... Exchange Administrator. Yep, you read that right. So we purchased another company recently and have to maintain their email system for awhile. I wasn't too worried that I've never even played in Exchange. Not to toot my own horn, but there isn't many software tools that have scared me away. I can click around in anything and figure my way around enough to be dangerous. Exchange was no exception until I spent hours trying to figure out why I was getting an error message while tracking a message. Like a good Lotus Admin, I immediately went to Google when I wasn't sure and wasn't getting what I needed out of the help. Wow, to say there's not a good Exchange community like Lotus has in an understatement. After about 30 minutes I gave up on the web and went back to just hunting around. I figured out the answer after awhile. The previous admins hadn't actually given me full rights when handing over the tool. Nice. Now that I have full rights, I've been able to handle all the questions getting asked so far. However, it made me extremely thankful again for this community. I'm so glad my "exchange title" appears to be a very short interim solution.
Again thanks to the Lotus Community for helping to make my job the best I've ever had!

So I take it that you guys didn't migrate the Exchange Users over to domino as quickly as you wanted huh? Is there anything we can to help?
No need to worry! Everyone was migrated that needed to be. CMT for Notes is still a big hit here ;) Just legally bound to keep exchange up for those peices of the company we didn't purchase for a wee time longer. Thanks for checking though!
