Exchange Server 2007 Roles   
Hello,

  I have 4 server to deploy exchange server 2007, and I have thought that 
the best way to distribuite the roles are as follow:

     2 Mailbox (Cluster)
     1 Hub Transport and Unified Messaging
     1 Client Access

 Is it recomendable that I have hub transport and unified messaging together?

Is there somebody that can give some advices abou it?

Thanks,

Re: Exchange Server 2007 Roles   
HT and UM can co-exist - now it's the sizing that you need to think about.
Also add HT role to the CAS.

Ideally you want 2 of both for redundancy... buy as much redundancy you can 
afford now. You can always add more servers later, including virtual 
machines (once MSFT supports VMs for Exchange Server 2007).

Re: Exchange Server 2007 Roles   
Hello Bharat,

 Thanks for your advice, I have another doubt, I know that HT co-exist with 
the CAS, but I think that the CAS is the ¨front-end¨ server like in Exchange 
Server 2003, that need to be published in Internet, so it is a weak 
vulnerability that HT is in the same place, isn't it?

Regards,

Re: Exchange Server 2007 Roles   
Not necessarily. As far as security is concerned, you've already bet the 
farm (in a manner of speaking) by exposing CAS. If that gets compromised, 
your Hubs (and other servers for that matter) are easy targets. Hopefully 
you're using an application layer/application-aware firewall/appliance to 
publish.

You will also see the Hubs published/exposed to the internet for allowing 
access to client connectors for remote IMAP4/POP3 clients, as well as hubs 
as targets of MX records.
