Exchange 2007 for 185 users, any special considerations?
I need setup an exchange server for 185 users...never done one with so many users. It's just one server, no farm. Can I just use Windows 2003 R2 64-bit with Exchange STD? Any reason i need to go Enterprise on the OS or on Exchange?
Will 8GB sound like a reasonable amount of RAM for 185 users?

The only reason why you would want to go with Enterprise is for a few extra features it comes with. See: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/editions.mspx for more info.

Thanks for all the great info. One last question. Do you see any reason for me to get 15k SCSI drives on this server rather then SATA drives that for the same price i can get triple the capacity. I would rather get the SATA, i plan to use RAID 10.
I use SAS drives...there is really no need for SCSI.
Very True....

i thought SAS was SCSI...serial attached scsi, no?
yes...but not like you're thinking...they are actually a SFF SATA type connection...different than traditional SCSI and MUCH cheaper.
OK...wait a minute...scratch that. :) They are a SCSI type connection...but much smaller. They act more like SATA though. Really...if you get SATA, you're fine. :)
Like I said earlier, you are on the right track sir...nothing to worry.
