Hi,

We plan to install an Exchange 2003 enterprise server
with a 2-node (active and passive) cluster supporting
1,200 mailboxes.

The hardware platform is a Dell PowerEdge 1750 with dual
processor and 2 gb of ram.

Is 2 gb of ram good enough to support the proposed
environment?

Thanks

Tim

That depends. Clustering is memory intensive and really wants unfragmented
VM. Without it, it won't failover well.
I see two things you may want to consider.

1) Is this Enterprise Windows as well? If so, consider standard edition.
2) Why not just add the additional 2GB mem per node and be done with it?
That's a cheap price to pay compared to the rest of the costs. Think of it
as cheap insurance.
