Hi Kris, This is not going to be straightforward to answer!! So ok, you can have your server outside your company premises, but you need to consider how Exchange will talk to AD? What size is the link between your users and your server? What about redundancy? How far away will the Exchange server be from your users? I highly recommend that you read the following: Planning an Exchange Server 2003 Messaging System http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/messsyst.mspx I hope this helps you! -- James Whelan Rapid Response Engineer - Messaging Premier Field Engineering Microsoft United Kingdom Please do not send e-mail directly to this alias.

better if internal bcoz of following reasons 1. by having external, u are putting great traffic on ur wan link which may affect ur internet speed. 2. if ur AD is managed by u it will take great time for authentication. first ur machines will send request to exchange then it will ask u for credentials and after that it will again come to ur AD to get them authenticated. 3. moreover internal exchange servers will be more secure 4. the most important is the quick repair of xchange if it gets down and i think you will be able to troubleshoot it faster and better inside ur campus Harjeet "James Whelan [MSFT]" wrote in message news:%231cVOx2UGHA.4248@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Hi Kris, > > This is not going to be straightforward to answer!!
