I have considered that, however we have Exchange 2000 EE free as part of an upgrade advantage purchased with Exchange 5.5 EE. Upgrading to E2K3 EE would cost me upwards of $1000. Is it worth it? In addition, I will be doing the install on a P3600 with 512MB of RAM and 3 18GB RAID1 arrays. Can the hardware cope well?

IMNSHO upgrading to W2K at this point is a waste of time. If you're going to upgrade, upgrade to E2K3. It greatly simplifies the upgrade process from Exchange 5.5 and offers a number of significant enhancement which make it a much more compelling upgrade story than E2K. > From: "Dickenson, Steven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 12:29:31 -0400 > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: E2K Forest/Domain-prep on Win2003 Domain? > > Hi guys, > I'm getting ready to add a Windows 2003 DC to my Win2k AD network, > which will eventually be an all Win2k3 AD domain.
