I am quite comfortable with Installing and running 5.5. Most all of my sites are a single server with less that 100 users. (Most are less then 50 users)

Exchange 5.5 has worked (and still does) work well for these accounts.

Is it worth the trouble getting E2K running for such a small number on users?

I have 3 on the schedule with 35 users, 25 users and 10 users.

Thanks again

My recommendations are:
1) If they are already running 5.5 and there is no bsiness need to upgrade, don't.
2) If they are not currently running 5.5 and have or want to have Active Directory, I would install Ex2000. As with all MS products, 5.5 has a ending support date that will come sooner that Ex2000.
3) If they plan on, or are, using Outlook Web Access (OWA), I would use Ex2000. It is more friendly and acts more like Outlook.
