I was planning on rolling out Exchange 2007 in the next 60 days. I have the hardware and need to complete the project. Given that the RC is upgradable to RTM, would any of you go ahead and deploy the RC in production? I don’t want to delay the project, plus I don’t want to do another migration from 2007 to 2010.
Next question: How many of you would install Exchange as a VM on Hyper-V vs. Exchange stand alone. I was considering running Exchange as a single VM on the hardware purchased to run it stand alone. (Quad – Quad Core, 32GB Ram – 2TB iSCSI array) This would be for DR purposes. From: Michael B.

Yes, well, lots of executives don't seem to understand how to click an "X" or hit the delete key. But Outlook 2007 with service pack 2 will (should) perform as well as Outlook 2010 RTM. And replying to Andy Leedy's comment - yes, you can collocate CAS/HT on MB servers in HA situations using Exchange 2010; HOWEVER - that would also require you to have a redundant LB in front of that server for it to be HA. ________________________________ From: Brian Desmond [br...@briandesmond.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 10 or 7?

We plan on moving from Exchange 2003 to 2010. Possibly with two servers doing database replication. Question: I am budgeting Exchange Server CALS and Exchange server itself on new hardware. We currently have Outlook 2007 CALS, will those work with Exchange 2010? We don't plan on upgrading Outlook until probably 2011.
