Machine is doing other things (AD, two databases, file/print) and is bogging down badly. I could migrate the two databases to the beefier box but I already know from experience it's a PITA (the MySQL one isn't too bad, but the Sage Timberline based on the Pervasive engine is rough). I COULD throw more RAM at the box but my perfmon analysis is saying that moving Exchange to the other box is my best bet; the 8G in this current box will be enough to handle what I leave on there.

A single RAID-5 array should be able to handle that even during a rebuild situation without breaking a sweat. How much memory is in the box and how much can you add?

Like I said in another post, I'm just dealing with the fallout, wasn't my design or my call.

Perfmon is showing me that the IS is what is dragging the box down (and it is used for some other things as well that will be much harder to move) thus I want to get Exchange off it.

Plan is: 1) Install Ex on beefier box (member server of same domain) 2) Move mailboxes to new box 3) Uninstall Ex from old box and re-use serial First: it's my understanding that Outlook profiles will be automagically updated to point to the mailbox's new location. Correct? Second: Anyone see a problem re-using the serial key? Seems a simple plan but you know how that goes....
