I have a few questions for anyone who has done an Exch2003 to 2007 transition.
1. When building my new Exchange 2007 server, I am probably going to install Windows 2008 right away to save me from having to upgrade in the future. Is this what most people are doing, or are they sticking with Windows 2003 for Exchange 2007 2. If I install Windows 2008, can I use my Exchange 2007 CD (no service pack), or do I need an Exchange 2007 CD (slipstreamed w/SP1)? 3. My Exchange 2003 environment consists of a single Exchange 2003 server. It is currently virtualized under ESX with a single vCPU and 1GB memory with 300 mailboxes. Performance monitoring shows the system is NOT taxed at all (not even close). With Exchange 2007, is a single vCPU and 4GB memory going to suffice for approx. the same level of performance? 4. Do I "require" a seperate Edge Server? Or can that be on the same box as our hub transport, client mailboxes, etc.? (it seems doing a "typical" installation of Exchange 2007 puts it all on all box even though the "typical" installation doesnt say anything at all about Edge Transport?) 5. In a small sized Exchange organization (a single Exchange 2003 server), would you "recommend" a seperate Edge Server? Or just lump it in with the main Exchange 2007 box. I've read a number of Exchange 2007 technotes, articles, etc, but I am looking for real world answers from people that have done this.
