In this case I was asking which of the Exchange roles were present, but since 
it's the only one that answers the question.

What might be your smoothest thing is to install the hub transport and mailbox 
roles on the new server and then move the mailboxes. This can be done online 
and non-disruptively, and the user transition will be transparent.

After all the mailboxes are moved, you can remote the datastores from the 
current server and remove the mailbox role. This will get rid of the IS 
(solving your immediate need) and give you a chance to make a smooth cutover 
for hub transport (should be easy) and client access (not as much).

At that second stage, you might want to look at some options for design for 
your Exchange org to make your life easier in the future, but it depends on how 
many mailboxes you're looking at.

It's the only Ex box in the org. Perfmon is showing me that the IS is what is 
dragging the box down (and it is used for some other things as well that will 
be much harder to move) thus I want to get Exchange off it.

What role(s) are on this under-sized box?

Subject: moving Exchange

Ex2010 currently on an underpowered box. Plan is:

1)      Install Ex on beefier box (member server of same domain)

2)      Move mailboxes to new box

3)      Uninstall Ex from old box and re-use serial

First: it's my understanding that Outlook profiles will be automagically 
updated to point to the mailbox's new location. Correct?
Second: Anyone see a problem re-using the serial key?

Seems a simple plan but you know how that goes....
