Hi
Do I need to buy 2 copies of exchange for setting up a front end and Back
end server? We would like to plan on putting the store database on our SQL
server and get by with a lower cost FE.

Thanks

Carl

You're going to put your Exchange databases on your SQL server? Good
luck with that.
You don't have to have two boxes necessarily. If you have a firewall
on the outside you could publish TCP443 and 25 to the box direct.
If you want a FE as well as a BE then you will need two licences. The
FE only needs to be Standard Edition. The BE will depend on what you
need.

Sorry, I meant the same server which hosts our SQL, not in SQL.

If you have just one mailbox server you don't get much benefit from a
separate front-end server, so I'd recommend that you just go with one
Exchange server. I assume you're asking about Exchange 2003 since Exchange
2007 and later no longer have the notion of front-end server.

Thanks, this is why I asked. One of the consultants talked about exchange
2010 with a front end server and the database on a backend server.
interesting...
My thought was to just put it(exchaneg 2010) all on 1 server but my boss
wants us to use a low-end server for the front end and the high-end (already
in house) server as the backend. This is only for a single site with
about 50 users.
