I apologize if this has been mentioned already, but before you virtualize Exchange 2010 you should watch this TechNet webcast:

Whichever direction we go, management is definitely going to virtualize all the roles.

I am by no means an Exchange guru. I'd recommend you budget some $ for a few calls to MS PSS. I spent four hours on the phone with a woman from India yesterday resolving a Public folder replication issue. She was absolutely brilliant. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harry Singh" <hbo...@gmail.com<mailto:hbo...@gmail.com>> To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com<mailto:exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com>> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 4:16:30 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Exchange 2003 Migration to Exchange 2010 Not trying to hijack the thread, but has anyone done an exchange 2003 to 2010 migration ? I'm in a single server exch2003 sp2 environment now and have been having discussions with management on migrating to either 2007 or 2010. I'm leaning towards 2010 because of it's better virtualization support.

Therefore you will need to remove Exchange 2007 using add/remove programs. Personally I would also rebuild the host machine. If you are in a single domain environment then you do not have to extend the schema manually – the setup GUI will do everything for you automatically.

Nothing has been moved over to the new server as of yet. My question is this, the customer now has decided they'd like to go to Exchange 2010... Do I just update the schema again and then installe Exchange 2010 on top of the E2K7 box? TIA, John Bowles
