We are just starting to migrate from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. We are building the Exchange 2007 using Windows 2008 server in an ESXi virtual environment. We have configured the mail store in a separate virtual disk with the idea that we will move it to a SAN early next year (waiting on budget approval). We have 250 mailboxes with a 20 gb mail store. Our base hardware is an HP Proliant DL380G5 with eight 2.6 GHz xeon CPU's, 32 gb ram and 1 TB disk storage.
We would be interested in any tips on software and hardware configurations that anyone would like to share. Any Gotcha's? Any pitfalls to avoid? Thanks to all the contributors in this group. I have learned a lot just reading the Q & A's over the past few months.
