I think the big benefit for anyone to upgrade from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 would be those who have extensive branch offices; the benefits of the cached mode will help performance with a centralized Exchange Server architecture greatly.

But my E2K server is very stable itself, and the "benefits" of upgrading don't seem much to someone who doesn't need the ability to download your mailbox to your desktop.

Unfortunately, we don't have any road warriors for the City, as we allow OWA to be used, and the connection speed for that is just fine for everyone; or so they say. I will probably wait to upgrade to Exchange 2003 for at least a year, let everyone else work out the bugs :) Bob Sadler City of Leawood, KS, USA WAN/Internet Specialist 913-339-6700 x194 -----Original Message----- From: Robert Moir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:02 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Why would I want to go to Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 09 June 2003 15:52 > To: Exchange Discussions > > Good morning, > > Surely you are laughing by now.

What would these do that your current system doesn't do (easy enough to figure out) that you will need / want to do in future (not so easy)? How important is continued support from Microsoft to you? Do you have a lot of road warriors or people on remote sites with relatively slow links? Are you running Windows 2000 or 2003 active directory? If so then it makes good sense not to have to maintain 2 user directories and upgrading to a newer version of exchange would enable this. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
