You won't need to import data when you build a new server. You simply move the mailboxes from one to the other. After you move all of your data and configuration to the new one, you can shut down the old one and remove it.

I want to be able to conenct to my exchange server at from from my outlook client at work. Since I am Nat'd at work to the Internet and I am also Nat'd from my home network to the Net, wouldnt that pose a big problem for the VPN? I have never setup a VPN. I did attempt to assign static port mappings according to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q270/8/36.ASP?LN=EN-US&; SD=gn&FR=0&qry=firewall&rnk=12&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=EXCH2K But I still could not connect over the web to the exchange server. Is there a process to move the exchange server to another box? Can I just setup the new exchange box and then "import" all the info from the old one to the new one?

The static ports are only if you want to connect to it from the Internet. Since you also have your Exchange server configured as DC for your AD, it won't be wise to open up access to it from the Internet. Why not deploy a VPN solution for Internet access? 2. With 10 users the overhead shouldn't be a big issue. The reason why you'd want to move it is to avoid putting all the eggs in one basket.

I have a small home network with 5 servers and a few clients. 1. I want to connect to the Exchange server through my NAT router. I read that I need to setup static ports for Exchange to use since it randomly selects ports once the client connects through port 135. Has anyone done this? Are there any issues with this? 2. I did not have ADS setup so I built a new box to start the AD and to install Exchange on it since it required AD. Can I keep the Exchange server on the Domain Controller of the AD or will this cause issues such as too much overhead? If there is an issue, can I set up another box as the exchange server and them copy everything over to the new box? How would I do that? 3. Is there tips and tricks for a home network? I can only forsee 5 to 10 users total. Its mostly setup to do development for Outlook forms and what not for clients and to provide email for the family.
