The server name really does not matter in this case. If it were me I would just install Exchange 2003, move mailboxes, then follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931. If you really want to keep the same name then look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822945 -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2008 Microsoft Certified Partner "SuperSlueth" wrote in message news:43CB3FAE-3B1A-442F-A198-1F312A442743@microsoft.com... > i'm running exchange 2003 and need to replace the server it's running on > completely > What is the best way to migrate from the old server hardware to a new > server > but ending up with the old server name and IP address
