I am in the process of planning out the addition of 2 net
new E2K3 boxes and am looking for options to deal with my
one and only FE server that exists in our head office's
admiin group. I haev some additional testing to perform
but here is what "I" think are my options.
1: Shut off FE services from that server.
Problem: It is used by several Execs on the road for
Webmail access.
2:Move the FE services to another box somewhere else.
Problem: Link speeds are not that great so performance
would suffer
3:Perform an inplace upgrade of my E2K front end box.
Problem: Does the install of the first E2K3 server require
that no servers in the admin group are FE's or just that
no E2K servers are FE's ? I have not been able to find
these answers, prob due to a lack of searching/testing so
far
4:Turn off the FE services, install Exchange 2003 then
turn the FE servcices back on.
Problem: Ramifications unknown in doing this after the
fact.
