Planning a Deployment
Feature Pack Deployment Guide 19
Deploying the Feature Pack with Exchange Server 2003 requires the following steps:
1. Deploy the Exchange Server 2003 computer.
If a new Exchange Server 2003 computer is being deployed: Perform the Exchange
Server 2003 installation on the target computer.
If an existing Exchange Server 2003 computer is being deployed: Perform a full backup
of the Exchange database to minimize the size of transaction logs.
If an upgrade from Exchange 2000 Server is being deployed: Perform a full backup of
the Exchange database, then perform the upgrade from Exchange 2000 Server to
Exchange Server 2003 on the target computer.
2. Move the Exchange database to the Windows Storage Server computer by taking the
following steps:
If an existing Exchange database is being moved: Using either of the remote storage
tools included in the Feature Pack, move the existing Exchange database to the
Windows Storage Server computer.
If a new Exchange database is being created:
a. Using Exchange System Manager, create a new database on the Exchange server.
b. Using either of the remote storage tools included in the Feature Pack, move the new
Exchange database to the Windows Storage Server computer.
c. Using Move Mailbox in Exchange System Manager, move existing Exchange
mailboxes to the new Exchange database on the Windows Storage Server 2003
computer.
For complete instructions for moving the Exchange database, see Chapter 3, “Moving Exchange
Files to a NAS System.”
Estimating File Transfer Times
To estimate how long it will take to move Exchange files from the Exchange server to the
Windows Storage Server computer, take an inventory of files to be moved, compute the total
amount of disk space used by the files, and divide by the file transfer rate. Assuming the use of a
recommended configuration, including a dedicated network between the Exchange server and
the Windows Storage Server computer, use a file transfer rate of 720 MB per minute. If a
recommended configuration is not being used, the file transfer rate is slower.
Table 1.4 provides an example for estimating file transfer time.
Note
The data used in the following example represents a new server running Exchange
Server 2003.
