Setting up an Email Server - Help for Bernadette Roche

Hi All,
Bernadette Roche sent me this via Twitter. She does not have email, or she =
would have posted this query herself.

She asked...

Sorry to bug on a holiday break. Have you ever set up a server?

It's email server, so think Im going 2 have 2 hire sum1 2 restore it cmplet=
ly. Prob cn do OS myself, but exchange itself looks 2 complicated


And also posted further explanation via twitter. Can anyone offer her advic=
e? I'll forward anything to her.

Further tweets:
So it's been an "entertaining" (using term loosely) #eduit week - boss' MB =
crashed just out of warranty. Virus clogging bandwidth.

AND exchange box MB, controller and both hard drives crashed. Yes, all in o=
ne #eduit week.

So now contemplating exchange box. Unchartered waters - pondering what I ca=
n do by myself and what I need to call in assistance for.

1 HD will arrive Fri. Can I load OS on it without 2nd HD? Is loading OS on =
server same as desktop/laptop?

Also have slipstream disc of original configs 4 server. Wondering abt using=
that on new HD. Is this like imaging a desktop/laptop?

ive a backup of exchange data 2 B restored, but dont know how "unique" exch=
ange is 4 a newbie 2 install or do i call in the big guns?

Thanks in advance,
Jayme
