Oh Carl did a great job. He just expected everyone else to be as thorough and complete as HE is. J

You will need at least 3 servers: 1 for the CAS/HT/File Share Witness, 2 for the Windows Cluster/Exchange Cluster Henrik Walther has an excellent set of articles on this (but they need to be updated for SP1): http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Installing-Configuring-Testing-Exchange- 2007-Cluster-Continuous-Replication-Based-Mailbox-Server-Part1.html http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Installing-Configuring-Testing-Exchange- 2007-Cluster-Continuous-Replication-Based-Mailbox-Server-Part2.html http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Installing-Configuring-Testing-Exchange- 2007-Cluster-Continuous-Replication-Based-Mailbox-Server-Part3.html These are the articles I used to assist in setting up the cluster I just completed. Once all the issues were resolved with the misconfiguration of the Blades and SAN, setting up the cluster and CCR was fairly easy. Webster From: Jason Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Exchange 2007 Cluster I have a customer interested in migrating their Windows 2003/Exchange 2003 FE/BE environment into a W2K8/E2K7 Cluster (for the mailboxes only). As this is not my usual area of expertise, I would appreciate any advice you have to offer. My thoughts are that we need two new servers to make up the CCR cluster and the E2K7 MBOX servers. From what I can tell, CCR is not a Windows cluster, but an Exchange thing, so I don't need to worry about quorums and the like. The existing FE would be upgraded to an E2K7 CAS. I guess my question is, what happens to the other roles? There are only 500 users or so and things run really well on two servers now. They aren't really interested in an Edge server, but obviously the Hub Transport role (and maybe an internal CAS) needs to go somewhere. They can run on the CCR, right?
