Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculators updated

The Exchange Team (Ross Smith) has updated the Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculators for both Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.

For the Exchange 2007 calculator, the changes were minor (bug fixes essentially). As for the Exchange 2010 calculator, well as usual, there have been a number of bug fixes (mostly related to those pesky active copies after a server failure formulas); however, those fixes are not the only changes. 

Head on over to the Updates Tracking page to see what is changed and/or download the revised version.
