One more thing, Microsoft says to scale out not up. I guess this is a JET issue. So 2 Proc Boxes are better than 4 proc boxes. I say your mileage may vary.

I think that was the old rule for Exchange 2000 SP1. Exchange 2000 SP3 and Exchange 2003 is different. We were told by Microsoft it is recommended that you base your AD/Exchange GC deployment on number of processors for exchange mailbox servers. Not number of servers. 1 GC (Dual Proc IMHO) for every 4 Exchange mailbox processors.

Microsoft recommends 1 GC for every 4 Exchange 2000 servers, with 1 GC in each site with an E2K server. If you have sufficient GCs for the number of E2K servers, you likely don't need any more GCs.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 1:01 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2k ? We are having a debate on whether or not to make all of our DC's gc's in our new e2k environment. I would like to hear feedback from current e2k administrators. It is my contention that we have sufficient DC resources to NOT make all of our DC's gc's for exchange. Is there any drawback to doing this other than increased replication traffic? Simply we are an empty root with 2 child domain. The enterprise is moving towards an all e2k environment from a plethora of disjoined messaging / e-mail systems.
