Hi, I'm going to retake the topic of migrating from SBS 2003 to a separate DC and Exchange 2007 standard.
Ive read this article http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Installing-Exchange-2007-Small-Business-Server-2003-domain-Part1.html But Im not thinking of moving the FSMO roles to the Exchange 2007 machine but creating a DC with Windows 2003 Standard and try to make Exchange 2007 a domain member. Some people claim that It might be worth to wait until Microsoft releases the new version of SBS which will include exchange 2007 (any expected date for the release?). We have a complex environment running Macs and Windows machines with Entourage for Macs and Outlook 2003 and 2007 against our Exchange 2003 server running on SBS 2003. My ex-boss decided that We needed to move to Exchange 2007 (We have a free license from Action pack), but since Hes leaving, Im catching up with this migration (and other he left over) and re-considering the need of migrating this server now or to wait until the SBS upgrade. His idea was to separate the domain controllers from Exchange 2007. I think Exchange 2007 offers better integration with our Macs but Im trying to balance what I gain taking Exchange out of the SBS and have DC and Exchange as separate servers or wait until SBS supporting Exchange2007 is released. The advantages of migrating now to Exchange 2007 as I said, I think they are primarily because better Mac integration. The drawbacks that I see of separating Exchange from SBS would be: - Id lose the added value of creating users in just one place. Or am I wrong and users when added to Active Directory will automatically have a mailbox in Exchange 2007? - Also that migrating from SBS 2003 to have Exchange 2007 as separate server might be a little bit cumbersome. - Also the economic cost of upgrading to the new SBS version supporting Exchange2007? So do you think that is worth to wait until the upgrade of SBS supporting Exchange 2007? Thanks in advance, Miguel ______________________________________________ Enviado desde Correo Yahoo!
