Will do. I've been running the ESE v3.8 scanner on a small sites server for around a year now, never had any problems, but then there's only a 2gb store and about 40 mailboxes.
I guess I'm trying to do "best practice" as I'm effectively going to be starting from scratch with these new boxes. Oh, and I'm talking crap, I do have a v5 client CAB files, I haven't installed it (still don't know if I should or not!), but I've extracted the exchng32.exe and it's version is 5.0.1457.3. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
