You are going to need plenty of Server if you go Virtualization for a
school. How many mailboxes are you talking about? Are they considering
upgrading to Exchnange 2007 at some point?

Hi;
I currently administer an exchange 2000 server at a school board.
Management
wants it virtualized. The san its to be migrated to has 2 disk groups. I
am
currently thinking about the aspect of redundancy. Full Backups are done
every night (M-F). One disk group is more limited in space than the other.
Here's the Scenario I'm thinking about:
I place the system partition and exchange databases on the same disk group
and transaction logs on another. If I lose the disk group with the system
and
dB, are the transaction logs still useful? Can I restore the system, than
the
dB and than replay the transaction logs(which are still intact on other
disk
group)?
I can't think of why this would not be possible to do. So long as I have
all
the transaction logs from the last full backup(uncorrupted), I would think
I
should be able to play them in to the dB.
I have read in a vmware exchange best practises document that under this
scenario the transaction logs would not be useable.
