You could to a swing to an x64 box, but I don't think it's necessary. You don't need Exchange 2007 if you're running a single Exchange server (Exch 2007 is its strongest in a multi-server environment), and if you only have 1-2 regular TS users (or even 5) then your biggest permance bottleneck is not the memory, but the hard drive, and your RAID 5 and 10K drive configuration at least fixes that. Here's what I'd recommend (and by the way, Sean is more experienced that I, he may have comments about this): run everything on one box for now (add a 2nd processor if you can), but only do it if there's a timeline and a budget earmarked for a second server, one that allows you to migrate Exchange off of the domain controller/terminal server in 3 months or 6 months. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Windows 2003" group.

I'm glad to hear from someone that this is possible, while not optimal, that it will run. I'll wait for a few more comments (if any) and do some more research before I continue the install. Thanks for your information and opinions.
