Hi Guys,
I get to buy a new Exchange 2010 server YAY! So now comes the fun task of building it out. So, of course, I look to see what our dear ol' friend M$ has to say about that. I start reading looking for information on what the latest and greatest best practices are as well as what recommendations have been made. So I end up with the Exchange 2010 Server Role Requirements Calculator spreadsheet (E2010Clac20.8) from M$. This was referenced over and over in a multitude of posts, blogs etc. So I started there. I filled it all out and was gobsmacked when I saw the results.
This will be an Exchange 2010 install with all roles installed (we are not all that big in terms of head count), virtualized on VMware. User base looks something like this: 65 users max mailbox size of 4 GB for general staff, 6 GB for fee earners and :cough cough: open...
