I am getting ready to migrate our current Exchange 2003 system to Exchange 2007 system. Our current system is composed of one Front-End server and 2 Back-End servers, all running Exchange 2003 sp2 in our main office. Email to and from the Internet is taken care by our connection to the Frontbridge services. I did performed a migration to Exchange 2007 in a test lab and it seems to be ok, in one sigle site. Upper management has decided to deploy the new Exchange 2007 servers on our new Data Center site, and my questions is if this would be a workable solution: Exchange 2003 system on our main office and Exchange 2007 system on our Data Center integrated in one organization. The Exchange 2003 system will be phase out once all the mail accounts are migrated to the new Exchange system. My big question is, will the OWA settings from Exchange 203 carry over to the new Exchange 2007 CAS server even though they are in different sites?? Will the Exchange 2003 bridgehead server show up as an option when I install the mailbox role on Exchange 2007 ?? If the answer to the questions is yes, then I will run both systems for at least a month so the we can migrate the mailboxes to the new servers and replicate the public folders. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Edmundo
Hi you should look for all CAS features that have "internalURL" and "externalURL" settings. In some cases it is site dependend.
