I am going to be deploying Exchange 2003 on an existing network running AD soon. Does anybody know of any reliable online checklists that i could use. I have a few of the MS tools but is there anything like 3 rd party checklist that goes through thoroughly to check the existing network and any other information such as MX records that we would require from the client.<br />
<br />
Many thanks in advance.
