We have several customer scenarios where for various reasons we are eager to move. This mostly revolves around hardware deployment issues. (eg - We know we have to replace servers now and would like to minimize the number of migrations, upgrades, redeployments, need to additional hardware, etc.)
Questions:
1) So where can I actually get RTM bits? Not on MSDN or the Exchange page (which is still handing out the Preview release).
2) The post in July seemed to imply that coexistence would be possible when XS2K13 RTM was released. I read the later postings as superceding this and that we have to wait for XS2K10SP3. True?
3) If "co-existence" is out of the question, is a complete "migration" from an existing XS2K10 to XS2K13 RTM possible? Is we accept downtime to get a migration done can we actually do it or is migration also dependent on "co-existence"? Is this documented anywhere?
4) Is there any specific information on deployment of diversity for all roles (Both in single site and over a WAN)? Load balancer requirements etc?
5) I am interested in hearing anyone's experienceknowledge about supported Microsoft or third-party apps for backup (eg Symantec BackupExec, CA Arcserve), Antivirus (eg symantec, TrendMicro, others), and antispam (eg GFI Mailessentials), fax integration (eg GFI FaxMaker). As usual these are probably the blocking issues fro actual production.
