Make sure you are installing Exchange Server on Enterprise Version of Windows , otherwise you won’t be able to create &quot;DAG&quot; as others said on existing Server ( you will have to start all over) DAG is for high availability meaning 2 servers, hence won’t apply to you for now.<br />

good place to start reading<br />

Currently upgrading Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.<br />
<br />
Looking to see if someone could point me to resources . I want to put in a single Exchange server now and in six months add another, in a remote data center.<br />
<br />
Would I configure a DAG now? &nbsp;I do not want to have to move mailboxes again in six months.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
