Keep the same smtp email domain for new exchange org 3. Perform migration in stages Can someone point me to 2-3 different migration approaches using same or different hardware?

Upgrade DCs to 2003. Use Domain Rename. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/downloads/winsrvr/domainrename.mspx This may help: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=842116 -- Bharat Suneja MCSE, MCT www.zenprise.com blog: www.suneja.com/blog ----------------------------------------- "John" wrote in message news:FAC37607-1E77-4D43-B10E-21C877F1ADF3@microsoft.com... >I have a windows 2000 AD domain and Windows 2000 Exchange org. > > I plan to move to a Windows 2003 domain and Windows 2003 Exchange org. > > Requirements > 1. change the Active directory domain to new name > 2.

SMTP domains can be added/removed quite easily to Exchange. You setup Recipient Policy for the domain. Recipient Policy tells Exchange it should receive email for a particular domain and generates email addresses. https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/E2k3TransnRouting/bf94f67e-6ecc-4c57-85de-3a502432d655.mspx -- Bharat Suneja MCSE, MCT www.zenprise.com blog: www.suneja.com/blog ----------------------------------------- "John" wrote in message news:2FB05B05-8AFF-412A-B02A-173231EDA37A@microsoft.com... > Great info thank you > > How about if I were to migrate and use a different SMTP Domain for > Exchange? > > Kind regards, > > John > > "John" wrote: > >> I have a windows 2000 AD domain and Windows 2000 Exchange org. >> >> I plan to move to a Windows 2003 domain and Windows 2003 Exchange org. >> >> Requirements >> 1. change the Active directory domain to new name >> 2.

Be sure to remember that you'll need to also upgrade to Exchange 2003 to support the domain rename. I have to admit though, a domain rename seems like a pretty worthless thing since only your company users would likely see that information. Is it really that important to justify the work?
