Adding Enterprise Exchange to SBS environment

We are adding an Exchange enterprise server to our SBS2003 network. The
reason being the need for increase storage in the message store. We are
going to make the SBS box a front end server and make the enterprise server
the back end server. I have a couple of questions, first will we have to
reconnect everyone's mailboxes to the new enterprise server after they are
moved over or will they automatically find their mailbox after it is moved?
Should we configure IPsec between the two servers? And lastly, has anyone
else done this in production? After talking with Microsft support, they
said this is not a supported environment.

Thanks,

Mike Fefferman

I don't think it's going to move...I think you'll have to reconnect. I
think you need to post over in the Exchange group and just don't tell
them you have a SBS box ;-) Say you have a network with exchange
standard as the front and exchange enterprise on the back end.

Basically you'll be manually setting this stuff up.
