We have an old exchange box that is our SMTO and gatway and bridgehead and we would like to replace it with a new box and Exchange 2003. What is the best way to approch this?
Are you talking about a bridgehead for a routing group, or just an SMTP relay server? If you're talking about a routing group bridgehead, build the new server, configure it to be the bridgehead for the routing group, configure MX records, firewall settings, or other smart hosts that direct inbound mail to point to the new server. If you're talking about an SMTP relay server, you don't need an Exchange server for that; a Windows Server box with the SMTP service will do just fine more simply for less. -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!"
