What is a Virtual User Group meeting? Think about all the things that a live user group meeting contains - a presentation, some time for networking and questions, and perhaps a snack. Well, we can't vouch for the snack, but we are providing the presentation and the networking. LotusUserGroup.org's Virtual User Group meetings include a Webcast presentation and a moderated topic forum/chat.

Logging And Monitoring Your BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Originally Presented: November 17, 2008

Presented by: Gabriella Davis, Technical Director, The Turtle Partnership

BlackBerry Enterprise Server integrates tightly with your Domino environment but its many services actually sit outside Domino and are not readily accessible to, or understood by, most Domino Admins. In this webinar we'll take you through how to monitor each of the BES services and what they do.

Then we'll take a look at the extensive logging operations available for the BES server and each of the services, delving into some sample logs to help you understand what your BlackBerry server is doing. We'll also take a look at some tools in the BES Resource Kit that help you analyze your server activity and identify problems. This session is ideal for anyone who is fearful their BlackBerry server 'just runs itself' and wants to achieve a greater level of control and tracking of BlackBerry activity.

Join us for this online presentation and:

Understand how to best monitor each BES service

Discover the meaning of common Domino console commands you are seeing

Learn how to configure BES logging and enhanced logging for specific services

Generate revealing statistics and perform insightful log analysis with the BES Resource Kit

Access SharePoint document libraries from a Notes sidebar.

Incorporate Notes emails into an enterprise content management solution based on SharePoint.

Initiate a Lotus Sametime chat session from a SharePoint document, and drag-and-drop documents from SharePoint to the Sametime instant messaging client.

Archiving Best Practices

Presented by Rob Axelrod, Technotics, Inc.

Originally Presented February 11, 2008

Best practices, regulatory requirements, and litigious concerns underscore the need for email retention and storage, speedy accessibility and easy retrieval. Yet, steadily increasing email volumes make it a challenge for organizations to manage vast amounts of email on their mail server and primary data stores.

View this presentation, by popular Lotus expert Rob Axelrod of Technotics, Inc, in which Rob discusses how to reconcile the user's business needs for expanded mail file sizes with your disk management needs and most importantly with your corporate document management needs. Rob talks about tools and methods for analysis of your systems and methodologies for managing the massive amounts of email data that resides in our environments. Uncover proven best practices for where to put data (local vs. server), setting up and managing archiving rules, and controlling the end-user environment. Get tips managing and troubleshooting policies. Plus, learn how archiving affects server performance, the impact of local archiving, and more.
