Thanks for the feedback, plenty of helpful answers in there :) The reason behind the two ADC connectors is I want to make a test box here before committing decent hardware to run as our main Exchange 2003, but I wanted to be sure that I can get the proper Exchange 2003 box running ADC in line with the test box, in the end making the proper box the only ADC running exchange server.
