Adam, Thanks for the response.

I anticipate that a database dump and bcp reload would be sufficient, given our planned architecture. In order to throttle utilization down for an active server, a DTS package might need to be provided. > 2) What kind of performance improvements are we likely to see? See my most recent benchmark. The improvements you'd see would depend a lot on how well you've optimized your current SQL installation. This includes indexing, memory management, client/server interconnect, etc. Could be 10x, could be 100x. > 3)It seems to me that account administration would be much mor > difficult too because you would have to change things in 2 places? No, only one place, but it is true that this breaks Imail's default account management interfaces.
