As you are aware, upgrading a larger environment of EV-servers can be a little confusing.
I've done upgrades from 6 to 7, from 7 to 7.5 and now from 7.5 to 8.0
My environment is pretty large.
9 Journal Archiving servers
15 Mailbox Archving servers
4 Discovery Accelerator servers.
Designing a new EV environment is not an easy task to do.
I am in an environment that is currently
EV7.5SP2, Exchange2003SP2, Windows2003 SP2, SQL2000SP4
In (if all goes to plan) 7 to 8 months, I am in an environment that will be:
EV8.0SP2
Exchange2007SP2
Windows2008R2 (possibly)
SQL2008SP2
My name is Gertjan. I am Dutch. (it ain't much if it ain't dutch!)
I am working for a contracting firm called T2. I've been placed at one of the largest EV implementations in the Netherlands. Due to the nature of the environment (as pointed out by someone..) I will not post too much about it.
