Hey all, my office is looking to set up a second Exchange 5.5 server (just until we get a chance to upgrade the entire network to 2k3).
From the looks of it, this should be starightforward, install a second instance of 5.5 of another server (same domain), and have it join the existing site. Directory syncronization should keep the two mirrored (relativly).
Are there any major pitfalls I should be watching for here? Some glaring problem with setting up the second server that I've overlooked?

Any input is welcom, thanks!

You're right in that there isn't anything major in adding a second server. The surprises start to come when you migrate. So when that time comes, (even though going to 2003 was easier than i ever expected) plan carefully, and don't rush. As for now, adding a second server is as simple as it seems. Good luck!
