I have a bit of a conundrum, which basically means I need to run Exchange on the PDC - explanation is below if anyone is interested, but off the top of your heads, is there a yes/no for this one?
OK - reason for this (stop reading here if you're bored) . . .
I have 2 servers, and am installing Exchange 2007 - there isn't a forum here for that, hence this post.
2007 Must be run on a 64bit version of Windows. Fine, so I set up Exchange on 2.3kx64.
My other server must run 32 bit Windows, as x64 has very limited driver availability, and I can't run the network cards I have on x64.
I need to run the network cards because I need an ISA server . . .
So, the options here are limited. I can't run exchange on the same box as the ISA server (and wouldn't want to) as it has to be a 32 bit OS. I clearly don't want the ISA server to be the PDC. The only combination left is the have the 64 bit box as PDC, and it's the only one that will run exchange.
I'm in the planning stage right now, so all things are possible. The other option if REALLY necessary is to add another server, but that would only happen if I really can't run Exchange on the PDC. They're horribly expensive where I am.
What say you Tek-tips? Thank you in advance, as always.
