Our organization is presently operating an Enterprise Exchange 2003 Server on a Windows 2003 Server. The same server is also our DC. We have a small organization, approx. 100 users. We have to seperate locations connected via P2P T1 and we have a secondary DC at the second location. The primary location is 1.x and the second location on 2.x. I need to begin individual Security Group password policies I understand are only available on Windows 2008. Can I upgrade my Windows Server 2003/Exchange Enterprise Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008/Exchange Enterprise Server 2003? What issues might I encounter, things I need to be aware of? Lar
Negative. First off, Exchange 2003 isn't supported on Windows 2008. Also any OS upgrade on the Exchange server would probably be very dangerous.

If you have not purchased any licensing yet, I would seriously look at Essential Business Server. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/essential/ebs/default.mspx -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2008 Microsoft Certified Partner "Lar" wrote in message news:C834DC6E-8528-4C52-A55A-D23C76E54E5E@microsoft.com... > Our organization is presently operating an Enterprise Exchange 2003 Server > on a Windows 2003 Server.
