Moving from 2003 to 2007 is a lot easier than going from 5.5 to 2003. There are some big changes, but nothing like the introduction of Active Directory.
I'm definitely with Ed on this one. I would strongly recommend using Exchange 2007 and SCR for your DR as it meets your requirement of being able to restore within 24 hours and has no additional licensing cost. Plus, it has been vigorously tested by Microsoft and others and you can get support from Microsoft or any Exchange group such as this one. I would recommend trying it out first and if it doesn't meet your needs they look for alternatives. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange DR Ed wrote: > Rather than investing the time and money into a possibly > flaky third-party add-on, you might consider beginning your > upgrade to Exchange 2007 SP1, which will support what you > want to do natively with Standby Continuous Replication (SCR). I agree, Ed. But, our upgrade to E2K7SP1 is six to eight months away, and the powers that be want an Exchange DR solution in place in the next 2 or 3 months. Which begs the question: Is the 3-day MS#3938 course (Update Skills from MS Exchange 2000 to 2007) enough to get me going on the E2K7 upgrade? I remember having a week or two of classes to get from 5.5 to 2003. -- Larry Wahlers _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] t.com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
