How many user mailboxes are you supporting? We've got 500+ on Debian right now, and are considering moving to Windows, simply because good Linux tech support is becoming hard to find in this area.

Been running connect on windows server since April 2016. Done 2 server inplace upgrades from 2012-2016 / 2016-2019. Currently have 125 users with over 3 million files. Server is running Drive data-deduplication.
No issues.

I have 450 users on a Windows 2012 R2 server. Runs pretty well. Searches are a bit slow, but that's down to the local computer.

We had two large deployments with the Windows. First was around 700u and with internal user database. There was some connection issues with lan computers, but it might something with the firewall. Second was around 1300u with AD integration. That was unreliable especially what comes to ldap. Kerio's ldap client implementation is poor and it will generate massive amount queries to DC. Admin console was near unusable because of this. I think that practical limit is about 500u and after that you need something else.

Thanks for the feedback. We had appx 250 users 9 or 10 years ago when we switched from Windows (2008) to Debian. We always use the local user database, no AD integration. The big gain at that time was that the "cleanout" function could finally keep up. Since then, we got not just new Windows, but we've upgraded to an all-flash SAN on a 10Gb network, so that problem probably won't exist any more, either.
