I think upgrading to Exchange 2003 SP2 would be a great idea as main stream support for Exchange 2000 has ended. How many users do you have?, if you have less than 50 you might want to look at Small Business Server. I would not recommend installing Exchange on the same machine that is your DC.

Also I have win2k server and exchange 2k. Do you think it would be a good idea to upgrade 2003 server and exchange 2003 sp2 . Any thing to look out for on the upgrade. Both server and exchange reside on 1 computer Thanks jeff ________________________________ From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:41 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: 16gb standard limitation http://www.MSExchange.org/ Total of the EDB and STM files.
