Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback, the Exchange server will be a separate physical
server, not the same one as that running the AD or GC. Does that address
the issue you raised?
As for not installing Exchange 2k3 on a AD for security reasons, I did not
know there was a way to run Exchange without AD - is it not a basic
requirement for Exchange 2003 that it be installed within an Active
Directory with a Domain Controller and Global Catalog somewhere on the
network?
best regards
Mike
