What about the aditional overhead (cost) of Windows 2000 server as he
will need an AD. I would say rather stick with NT4.0 and Exchange 5.5

Since you won't have to worry about the Exchange 5.5/2K coexistence
phase, then by all means implement Exchange 2K. It's a much better
product. It's more scaleable, more logical, has much better web
interface, etc. Yes, there is a learning curve to learn the new
administrative interfaces, but without an installed base of Exchange
5.5, the implementation of Exchange 2K is very straightforward.

Then no Exchange2000.
Looks like you'll be happy with 5.5 for awhile.

Subject: Must Decide; EX5.5 or EX2K
I've recently come into the need to implement Exchange server
for my new
employer. I have been blissfully ignorant of all things related
to
Exchange for nearly a year and a half now, but alas that is at
an end.
I've had substantial experience with Exchange with my previous
employer,
but when I was hired on here they already had some other e-mail
product
and were not interested in switching to Exchange. Now they are
and I am
needing to catch up. My experience with Exchange goes back to
the RC
for Exchange 4.0 and runs up to EX55 SP3. EX2K was only just
starting
to be implemented widely by the more adventurous members of this
list at
the time I changed jobs.
With that lengthy pre-amble, here's my question: I have
seen
some of the recent posts with scary stories about what to expect
when
upgrading EX55 to EX2K and read some other things about AD
implementations gone awry.
These cause me to wonder if it is worth it to install EX2K? We
already
own EX55 and our Windows networking is run strictly on a
"domains"
model, (no AD anywhere and none planned in the near future.)
Our
implementation will be rather small, one site, one server, about
50
users, and a handful of remote users. What if any advantages
would
there be to me to implement EX2K over EX55?
Thanx,
Eric Fors, II
BTW - I'm glad to see that the Ed's and Missy K. are still on
the list.
Your posts in the archives have pulled my proverbial bacon out
of the
fire more than a few times.
