Spec me a Exchange 2007 Server

[Van Diemen]

As title,

Going to be setting up an Exchange server at the office (about 50 emails max), not sure what spec server I will need.

Thanx for the help guys.

You'll also need to consider what kind of resiliency you would want, if any.

Might be better with SBS given the low user count?

Any new server will be high enough spec for 50 mail box's, id stuck 4gb of ram in... do some research into how much mail store users will need then x it by 50, do a report and get it agree'd by the md or who ever - that way when it runs out of space it aint your fault! - I like to have more than 2x the space I actually need free so I can repair the database's when... no if they screw up!

If you have budget it might be worth considering 2 servers as they are so cheap... I work for a big setup and our clusters are always causing problems so many times we are screwing about wishing we had another server to move the mail box's to.. - thats if they bothered with a cluster.. funny you would think the MoD would have a spare server...
