I just installed Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003. I suggest 8 drives. 2
mirrored for OS, 2 mirrored for Transactions Logs, 4 Raid 5 for Store.
With the store the more drives the better although depending on your
load 3 maybe just fine. Also keep in mind that SP2 for Exchange Std will
increase your store limit from 16GB to 75GB so plan for expansion.
Have a look at:

Consider ORF filter (cheap and works well). Currently I use IMF and ORF
to stop about 99% of all spam.

and RAID arrays?!?
Can anyone enlighten me? I am asked to install Exchange 2000/2003 on a

Thank You
