Thanks all. I can rest easy, since I had ordered only one server (we aren't looking at DAG).

You can't put EDGE Transport on the same server as everything else. You can put HUB Transport on the same server. Edge is an optional role anyway. Most people don't deploy it. Regards, Michael B.

You can definitely have all components on a single server. I just did the same upgrade today after several weeks of testing in the lab. From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:mark.rei...@prairie.edu] Sent: May-03-10 5:59 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: I'm getting conflicting information... We are moving from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. We have one physical server running Exchange 2003, and I was planning on one physical, dedicated (i.e. nothing virtual) server for Exchange 2010. I've heard a report that I can put all "parts" of Exchange 2010 on a physical box except Transport Server. It wants/needs to be on a separate box. Can somebody give me guidance? We have only about 350 hundred users, and many of these use OWA, and only occasionally. We have about 100 that use Outlook, and most don't do a lot of emailing. All this to say, there isn't a whole lot of email traffic that the server would have to actively, concurrently handle. Thanks in advance.
