    Hey Guys. I am going to get a mail server up again, but what should i use for a hardware setup? There will be only a few users. The last one i had setup with exchange 2003 was a 900mhz intel with 512mb of ram and a 40gb hard drive. That didn't go over to well.

    Will you be using exchange 2010? If so, it is now optimised for vitualisation. If you are going that route. We are. Soon we'll be going from 2003 to 2010 clustered via virtual machines using ESXi 4.1 update 1.

    Some info:

    Yeah, I started with vmware back in 2000 time frame. I had a windows 2000 server RC running on a windows 98 host computer. :)
