Building an Exchange 2003 server requires knowledge before the attempt. If you are going to build such a strong Email server think of what you are building it for. I will give you an example of how we built our server.

I gathered all of the software and the licenses that it would take to build the server. Making sure you have all of the media and license is key. Because you do not want to stop in the middle looking for the right key or spend hours on the phone with Microsoft.

Exchange server 2003 requires Windows 2003. But before you put the service pack for Windows,you should forest prep and otherwise get the server ready for exchange 2003. then install Exchange 2003 on the Windows 2003 server. Once installed you should install the Windows 2003 service pack, Reboot the machine. The install the Service pack for Exchange 2003. while you are at it give your Exchange server the 75 gig increase...

Exchange has many features that most do not take advantage of. The public folder feature is great for sharing information amongst the firm. distribution lists help send one message to many in your department or group.
