Exchange 2003 Design

[Pedals]

Hi,

Can anyone advice on the following:

I want to implement Exchange 2003, I have two sites connected with 5MB/s connections, siteA in the main site with most users approx 60, SiteB is the secondary site with approx 30 users.

Should I configure two exchange servers one in each site, or used front end server in siteB and place backend server in siteB.

Or is there any other configuration I should consider?


Thanks

Not backend in B.

Depending in other traffic over the WAN, put one Exchange box at A, a GC at each site and use Outlook 2003 in cached mode at both sites.

Bingo. I agree. 90 users on one server is nothing. And, since there is a fast link between the sites, one server is perfect. Outlook 2003 will keep bandwidth use low.
