I know, I know. (AKA - yes dear) Thanks for your experience. I have in one of the offices a BDC and moved the stuff around. The other office has 1 server and they won't even talk other stuff now - economy/ lawyers/ go figure.

Unless you have to restore it. I would certainly favour a BDC over an enhanced backup solution. Just my thoughts of course.

The hardware is not the issue. Exchange is not the issue. All the other software - like: backup, antivirus, disk utilities etc..... Try to see this - I spend months trying to sell them on Exchange to resolve a problem they convey (repeatedly). Once I sell them on it - I have to sell them on the enhanced backup (Don't even on NT Backup) and AntiVirus on Exchange. Now, on top of that - push a 2nd PC with all the other stuff? It works beautifully in all the shops I currently have running including my own. What happens tomorrow - who knows. Thanks for your concern!

Dude... I upgraded our PDC from a P75 to a P133 32MB RAM that's still in production. IF you can afford Exchange, you can afford a cheap BDC. I applaud your dedication to those companies. -----Original Message----- From: Clark, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 1:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Why would anyone install Exchange on a PDC? In the majority of shops I manage - there is no choice. Single server shops where the cost to have a BDC or even MS is over the budget. Keep in mind - the hardware is only a SMALL part of the cost. Most of the shops don't do Exchange - they go for POP mail. However, when the problem of shared contacts and calendars rears it's ugly head - Exchange is the solution.

I will always advise not to, but it works fine. The reasons not to: performance - not as big an issue today due to beefier machines recoverability - you better have a good BDC somewhere or tears are gonna fall.

Cost? Whenever possible install Exchange on a stand alone server.
