Servers are on three year lease. The other Exchange admin and I timed it this way on purpose. If they won't let us upgrade, we can add new systems into the cluster with little interruption. Routing group servers are easier. Well, we knew E2k7 was going to be a swing upgrade so we planned to use this as a 'best time is _now_' argument. We had some other delayed projects and a surprise project that ate into our initial window, but we have high hopes management will let us. Our direct manager is convinced, when we get a more realistic view of the near term workload then business justifications will go forth :)
