Guideline for Exchange server in branch office

["Roger Vicker, CCP" <rv-tech@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am looking for some better (more up to date...) guidelines for setting
up an Exchange server on SBS 2008 for a remote branch office where the
internet domain is hosted elsewhere on a Linux server. The branch is
pretty much a stand alone server and since the main email is hosted on
Linux there is no Exchange to Exchange configuration chance.

The users want to use Outlook 2007 (not my argument since several
managers have retirement dates on their calendars) but the company wants
a single internet domain for everyone's email address. I know how to
setup Outlook to use SMTP/POP3 or SMTP/IMAP directly to the main email
server but would like the advantage of Exchange being able to recreate
the user's desktop PST file when they get a new PC or it goes casters
up. Also, I will be able to setup a public DNS entry to the branch so
they would be able to use OWA when they are out of the office. The
webmail to the main email server wouldn't have their address book or
calendar entries.

So far the guides that I have found talked about Exchange 2000 or maybe
2003, but they seem to be pretty fragmented for this setup or don't
apply to the new Exchange.

If anyone knows of a link that details setting up this configuration,
without branching or calling in a bunch of other documents, please let
me know.

Thanks.
