We need to migrate an Exchnage 2003 cluster to Exchnage 2007 cluster.

The new cluster was build on a new hardware.

Some question:
On exchnage 2003 cluster I have 2 active node one with a specific storage
group. In Exchange 2007 in Single Copy Cluster have 1 Active node and 1
Passive node. Its only te active node who manage the Storage group?

On Exchnage 2007 I make a cluster on only the Mailbox Role. For the high
availability we need other two server with other role (CAS,HUB,Transport) ?

Thanks and sory form my bad english.

Yes, that's correct. Active/active isn't possible in Exchange 2007 now.

Yes, correct again. You will need additional servers running the CAS and HT
roles. You could consider 2 x CAS servers and 2 x HT servers, or you can
implement 2 x combined CAS/HT servers. The HT role automatically load
balances, but for the CAS role you'll need to implement software or hardware
load balancing.

Thanks...
I can use the Enteprise version of Exchange 2007 for the cluster and the
standard version for the Hub and transport e Client Access Role ?
