Hello all.
I was wondering if those of you who have installed, configured, and are running Exchange 2000 could help me out. We are attempting to change our current Exchange 5.5 email to E2K. Not a migration, since our current 5.5 DB's are corrupt (users will end up losing some mail). I am looking for the best plan of attack in setting this up from people who have done this before, not just MS instructions, which we are currently reading. We have approx 5500 users, 2000 of which use the Outlook client, the remaining use OWA.
1. How many servers should we use for Exchange, 1 or 2?
2. How is W2K about talking to NT4 and Linux DNS servers?
3. Should we run our DC and our GC on the same server or should they be seperate?
4. If we run our DC and GC on the same server how hard would it be to recover from a crash?
I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this.
