Have you considered just using rpc/https with dual sign on? So exchange is in its own complete domain? Just a thought with everyone using rpc/https and OL2010 might be something to look at.
I would also think to move the MX record and Spam (Front End) into the cabinet as my first step leave that there and then you can bring exchange over at any time. If you keep with single domain, you might even consider just putting a new exchange box in the colo and swinging mailboxes over at your leisure .

I believe that Exchange needs this as well as the AD From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 2:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Moving Exchange to Co-Lo I've been asked to move our Spam Titan server and Exchange server to a Co-Lo facility. I also plan on moving one of our DCs to the Co-Lo, as well. My tentative plan, 1) Create the LAN segment, get the routing working, create firewall policies, etc. 2) Create a new AD site for the Co-Lo 3) Move a domain controller to the Co-Lo. (When I reconfigure the IP address, it should automatically be in the new site.) 4) Move the Spam Titan and Exchange servers, reconfigure their IPs. (When I give the Exchange server the new IP, it should bind to the local DC.) 5) Reconfigure all DNS (Internal and external) with the new addresses. 6) Reconfigure our mapped IPs to route external traffic to the new internal IPs. Are there problems that I'm overlooking? Related question: We are using SCR in our environment. The target computer is also a file server and it will remain in our Corporate office. The two servers will be connected by a 15M MPLS connection. Does this connection create any problems for SCR? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
