Thanks for your comments -
I mis-wrote using the term Upgrade, where as I will have new servers being integrated into the network so Migration is a better definition. The two new servers are going to 64bit. No archiving, no BES etc. 50 users IS = 80GB Basic Services: OWA, rpc/http, OMA, MAPI Joseph Danielsen, CSBS, MCSA-Messaging, MCP Network Blade Inc. 49 Marcy Street Somerset, NJ 08873 732-213-0600 From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 11:54 AM Posted To: Exchange Conversation: Upgrading from 2003 to Exchange 2007 Estimate Subject: RE: Upgrading from 2003 to Exchange 2007 Estimate He'll need Windows 2003 Sp2 since I assume he'll want to install Exch 2007 SP1.

You'll need to install W2K3 SP1 first then E2007. Not knowing how complex your environment is (any BES servers, archiving, etc...) it's hard to say. The first step is getting your DCs and consequently your domain up to E2007 required levels. John W.

(new box) Understanding that my question is probably as uncertain as any answer I'll receive, but I would like to ask if anyone can give me a rough estimate of labor hours involved to perform the upgrade. P.S. Sarcasm is more than welcomed.
