If you have the exchange servers in place, and a well tested process to migrate -- overnight (a few hours to literaly overnight depending on the size of the mailbox).
Otherwise:
Back End Work
1. Specifiy server hardware - 2 hours if you have standards, 1 day if you are a small firm and need to go to VARs to price. 2. Receive signoff from project sponsor. Could be 30 minutes to two weeks. 3. Wait for delivery of hardware - 1 week max in this market. 4. Build server - hardware (2 hours); Software (4-6 hours) -- Assume person has done this work before 5. Integrate into NT Domain / Activer Directory 1 hour 6. Install monitoring tools and configure -- unless you are a small shop that runs till it breaks (3 hours)
IN PARALLEL - User Survey
