You need 2k server for Exchange 2k, that is, if you plan to upgrade. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Sander Van Butzelaar Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 08:36 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Must Decide; EX5.5 or EX2K
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 Sander -----Original Message----- From: Ragar, Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 August 2002 05:27 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Must Decide; EX5.5 or EX2K 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. William -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Eric Fors, II Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 1:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions 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. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .r���zrmyzruvi .+x )r뺷 ퟘ��� zǭȱr:楞˱m [y z[)rÉ Z Zvh˧+-i٢2̞G( _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
