Do I need an Edge Transport Server with Exchange 2013?
We're migrating an SBS 2008 environment to Server 2012 R2 + Exchange 2013, will I need to factor in a separate server for the Edge Transport role? Microsoft documentation on this and what I can find online is somewhat confusing about whether it's a requirement or not. I believe one of the reasons for having a separate Edge Transport server is for AV protection etc, currently McAfee GroupShield for Exchange is running on the SBS 2008 server and we are licensed for the latest version, so that could be installed wherever necessary.

Thanks. So given that this environment doesn't have an external spam filtering device/service, we would therefore need an Edge Transport Server. Would we then install McAfee GroupShield for Exchange on the Edge Transport server, or on the main Exchange 2013 (mailbox&CAS) server?

Hi, thanks for all the advice. Yes we're licensed for version 8.5, we'll go for that on the Mailbox Server for now.
