Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the entire thread. Huh? What is the goal?
Four servers gives you completely redundant, with clustering. (CAS/HT times 2, MB times 2) You can get completely redundant with manual failover with two (CAS/HT/MB with LCR). Regards, Michael B.

I just can't stand the idea of six servers for 500 users. Seems a bit too many. Setup a failover cluster with Exchange 2007 running in a hyper-v VM. This way all of the roles can run on a single (heck even multiple) VM and failover as needed. Thoughts? things I should be worried about? You know, besides Hyper-v not even being released yet :) Jason Tierney, MCITP Vice President, Consulting Services Corporate Network Services "Count on Us" direct: 240-425-4441 -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

Most high quality servers come with the option of redundant RAM.
