Using Exchange to send mail to more than one office location.

[Mannstech]

Hi,

I currently have a client who is happily using Exchange Server 2003 for their emails, all of which are being sent to one location in London. The client is now thinking of opening another office in Hertford where I will be setting up another network running SBS 2003 (approx. 5 - 10 users).

My very simple question is, can anyone give me a quick run through on how the new office will get their emails? Is there some sort of forwarding technique from the existing Exchange Server to the new server, or is the forwarding organised at the ISP end?

Any information would be gratefully received!

Regards.

If the link between the offices is half-decent, I wouldn't even bother with a server at the new office to run their mailboxes on - I'd just configure their mailboxes on the existing server in London, and make sure their Outlook profiles have the 'use cached mode' is ticked.

Many thanks zbnet however a new server needs to be installed to run their network so I'll certainly be installing another copy of SBS. Can you advise what other solution to the email problem might be deployed in this scenario?

Many thanks for your help.
