Re: Minimum System Requirements Query on Exchange 2000

Firstly, thanks for replying. Extended support is still available for
Exchange 2000 until January 2011. Furthermore, it costs 3 times less to buy
compared to Exchange 2003 and 2007. If I installed Exchange 2000 with 5 CAls
on a machine running Windows 2000 standard server with 2 GB of memory, would
I experience any major problems while supporting up to five client users?

Thanks Again

Hi,

Exchange 2000 can be installed on a windows 2000 standard server without any
problems.

The RAM requirement depends on number of users etc.

Why would you want to install exchange 2000 now? It is no longer a supported
product.

Having looked at the system requirements for Exchange 2000 @
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2000/sysreqs.mspx,
I'm
wondering is it possible to install Exchange 2000 on a computer running
Windows 2000 standard server with 2GB of RAM? It states on the system
requirements web page that Exchange 2000 Server should be installed on a
computer running Windows 2000 Advanced server with over 1 gigabyte (GB) of
physical memory. Does this imply that Exchange 2000 can't run on a
Windows
2000 server standard computer with more than 1GB of memory or does it mean
that it could still run but the user may encounter a reduction in
performance
of the exchange server? As I intend to run Exchange 2000 on a computer
running only the standard version of Windows 2000 Server with 2GB of
memory,
I'm concerned that I might experience problems due to having more than 1GB
of
RAM.

I'm wondering has anybody out there managed to successfully install
Exchange
2000 on a computer running only the standard version of Windows 2000
server
with more than 1GB of RAM and without experiencing any significant
degradation in performance.

I would welcome any assistance.

Thanks

Martin
