Move to 2003. No point in going with Exchange 2000 at this point. -----Original Message----- From: Holstrom, Don J. [mailto:DHolstrom@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 8:57 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange 2000 Performance Issues http://www.MSExchange.org/ This raises doubts in my mind about upgrading to Exchange 2000. I have an entirely (eight server, 100 workstation) Win2K system, with AD & DNS running properly, except I am running Exchange 5.5. It works perfectly well. I have the software licenses to move forward (?) to Exchange 2K. Is it worth the move? Or should I wait a few months and upgrade to Exchange 2003? What advantages are in Exchange 2K that would wow my users and make any inconveniences (hopefully slight or not at all) worth it? -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 6:04 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange 2000 Performance Issues http://www.MSExchange.org/ Have you tried check basic performance items, like partition fragmentation, disk I/O, memory, CPU, page file, free space, network connections, network utilization?
