ModWebd Two back-end servers connect to SAN for
access to mail store

Tree Structure Design
• The file/print tree [UKY] is the result of a distributed design run amok… courtesy of Gary Porter
• We could have leveraged our existing Tree, but we didn’t feel comfortable
One wrong move by a local admin could seriously affect mail delivery for 44,000 users
![Page 18: Www.novell.com How NIMS ™ Was Deployed for Tens of Thousands of Students at the University of Kentucky and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Matt DeFoor.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e765503460f94b7805a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dynamic vs. Static Tree Structure Design (cont.)
• Dynamic The UKY Tree is a dynamic tree where
servers are added and removed, schema is extended and partitioned and replicated across campus and some WAN links
• Static Static tree—one where the addition of
servers, schema extensions, and partition operations were limited and under our control
![Page 19: Www.novell.com How NIMS ™ Was Deployed for Tens of Thousands of Students at the University of Kentucky and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Matt DeFoor.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e765503460f94b7805a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dynamic vs. Static Tree Structure Design (cont.)
So the plan was simple…we’ll have a separate Tree and sync the two with DirXML…no sweat*
* “No sweat!” is a trademark of UKY

Separate Tree for Mail System
• Ergo…The One True Directory [TOTD]* This is an inside joke among NIMS admins Active Directory is referred to as the savior of our
supposed directory problems—even though it only has a few thousand users and [TOTD] has over 43,000
The [TOTD] tree is used for everything from web page authentication to VPN access to RADIUS authentication• Oh, did I mention that they can use the same userid
and password to access each of these services?
* [TOTD] is a trademark of UKY

Problems, Pitfalls and Ways to Avoid Them
• Modweb/WebAccess Limit your end-user expectations
• WebAccess/WebMail is your thin friend, not your fat client
• PR will be your friend Don’t let bad PR
give you a black eye

Don’t
PR Do’s and Don’ts
• Tell your users about the new system
• Tell your users you are moving to a new system one week before the changeover
• Tell your users of the benefits of the new system
• Tell your users—who all use the POP protocol—that they must go to IMAP
• Tell your users they now have web access to their mail
• Make them believe this is now the only mail access they have
• Come up with a catchy name
for your new mail system
• Have a stupid name like U-Connect@UK
Do

Problems, Pitfalls and Ways to Avoid Them
• Antivirus gateway (a problem before NIMS 3.02b)
McAfee Webshield SMTP for Windows NT Doesn’t support S/MIME attachments Malformed messages would cause the queue
to stop processing Obsolete because of antivirus agent
