We currently use SBS 2003 and its Exchange for email service. We are
slowly but surely growing out of SBS. We would like to install a
dedicated Exchange 2003 server for email and remove Exchange all
together from the SBS.

If you have any comments, cautions, words of wisdom, or whatever you
think might be helpful, I would greatly appreciate it. I've done
research myself and can't find anything to discourage me from doing
this. However, it's a pretty big change and I can't imagine it will
actually go as smoothly as what I've read indicates it will.

TIA,
Kris

If you are outgrowing SBS why are you not moving away from the whole suite,
not just Exchange

You should consider the transition pack...

You do realise that replacing SBS Exchange with Exchange Server Standard
Edition gains you nothing?

If I was looking at implementing additional servers because I felt the SBS
was overworked Exchange would be about the last item I would wish to move
elsewhere.

In what way are you outgrowing SBS?
What is the motivation?
