hi,
i do basic IT consulting but i have never setup an exchange server and am not sure which to install?
Please note: My client...
- will use Owa and use their pda/phone for checking email
- do not use calenders or contacts and or don't share them
- only 10 or less users
- the server will be in an unmanned location. no one physcially there in case the server needs to be rebooted and so on.
So my questions are
1. is setting up and monitoring/managing an exchange server worth it for 10 or less users
1a. what if the server is in an unmanned location. of course i can setup remote host but of course if their is some problem and down time with the server my client wont be able to get email.
2. if i do have to setup exchange should i just hire someone who has experience or is there a crash course on setting up exchange server?
2a. if i do it what version do you recommend?
2003, 2000, 5.5
3. Is there alternatives to exchange server? I have found a few alternatives but have no clue if one is better than the other? Either a software that works on the server like online or maybe a web based alternative like
