Exchange 2010, SP1. Planning on deploying a dedicated archive mailbox server. Question is, can other roles like Hub and CAS be applied to this server, and if so, should they? Ted

Yes, How many users you are going to archive on archive server, It depends upon load you are going to put on server for archive.Anil MCC 2011,ITIL V3,MCSA 2003,MCTS 2010, My Blog : http://messagingschool.wordpress.com
