[ExchangeList] Adding Additional Exchange Backend Server

Hi All:



The Current Exchange Setup is as follows:

 

# Frontend - Backend Setup

# 1 Frontend  Server (with RPC over HTTPs proxy) + 1 Backend Server (1000
mailboxes) + 1 Domain Controller

# Windows 2003 Enterprise Server (SP2) + Exchange 2003 Enterprise Server
(SP2).

 

We are planning to add an additional backend server with higher disk and I/O
capacity and move the mailboxes on the new server.

 

The steps are broadly outlined as below:

 

1. Additional Server joining the Existing windows domain
2. Installing Exchange server joining the Existing Exchange Organization.
3. Creating Multiple Mailbox Stores to distribute Mailboxes between stores.
4. Moving mailboxes to a New Exchange Server

 

Can somebody please guide me through the pros/cons of this setup or
pre-defined checklist that one needs to take care of in this kind of
migration.

 

Thanks & Regards

Mitul
