The hardware requirements for E2K3 vs E2K are generally equivalent, whether that hardware is sufficient for you org is not really something I can say with any degree of certainty. It meets the minimum hardware requirements I believe.
Whether or not it is worth $1000 for you is not really a question I can answer. It is for customers who hire me to do the work, since I performed my last E2K migration the weekend after TechEd and haven't looked back since. > From: "Dickenson, Steven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 13:03:45 -0400 > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: E2K Forest/Domain-prep on Win2003 Domain? > > I have considered that, however we have Exchange 2000 EE free as part of an > upgrade advantage purchased with Exchange 5.5 EE.
