How many user mailboxes are you likely to have? If it's less than 50, I highly recommend Microsoft's Small Business Server - it incorporates Exchange and makes the Exchange setup and basic tasks fairly painless.
On the other hand, if you're talking large environment, the very idea of putting Exchange in with a completely new administrator makes me shudder. Exchange isn't the simplest mail server. It takes a fair amount of knowledge, particularly in troubleshooting. I'd advise bringing in a consultant for a larger enterprise, and having the consultant on retainer for at least the first few months to assist. When I was consulting, that was a fairly common arrangement for us; I'd come in to set up a new Exchange server, give the users some basic instructions, and then come in on an as-needed basis to maintain or troubleshoot the system. That was generally less expensive for small clients than having to hire a trained Exchange admin. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
