We are planning to implement exchange server in our organization, at the moment we are running with third party mail store. We already have Active Directory with two windows 2003 R2 servers acting as DC & ADC each with 20 cals. We are planning buy Small Business Server 2003 R2 to use for exchange. My question are...

1. How many licences(CALs) we need to buy? If we want about 100 mail boxes(including aliases and groups)?

2. Does Standard SBS server will do our work?

Thanks..

I suggest you read about SBS and what it's limitations are. It's all available on Microsoft's Small Business Server web site.

Yeah, I have gone through MS website. I still have confusion with how many CALs I need to buy along with SBS.As we alreay have 2003 server( 2 server and 40 user) CALs.
Always get confused with these CALs issue if you can clarify me this that will be great.

Thanks

After few more reading decided not to use SBS for Exchange. So need to but 2003 standard server + Exchange Server.

Again same problem about CALs, Does 2003 CALS enough for exchage as well or need to buy special CALS for exchage? If so How many Exchange CALs I need to buy?
