We currently have one exchange 2003 server with 1900 user accounts. Our
average mailbox size is about 90MB and our Public Information Store database
is 174GB. We are spread out over 15 locations all connected with T3's so
bandwidth is not an issue. But we do get Outlook running very slow on some
systems. I want to upgrade the hardware. I have 2 new servers.

My questions are:
1. What is the "real" user load per server. Is my current config too much?
2. If I setup up the 2 new servers with exchange and split users between
them and used our old server as a "Front End" server, would this help?
3. What advice can you give me to increase performance?

Thanks
