I am updating to Exchange 2003 from Exchange 2000 by using the move mailbox feature and then removing the exchange 2000 box. When I am finished moving the mailboxes and the public folders to the new server I have to move the system folders over too. I found article id 822931 in the knowledge base http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931/en-us "How to remove the first Exchange Server 2003 computer from the administrative group". I assume all the same steps have to be done if the first server is an exchange 2000 box. Is this true? I noticed some folders that aren't in this article such as, OWAScratchPad, StoreEvents, and system configuration. Would I just leave these alone? Also, I have an Events Root folder that I think was left over when I upgraded from exchange 5.5 years ago. There is no servers listed in the replication tab. Can this be deleted? Thanks for your help, Mark
Hi, This article is the exchange 2000 version: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307917 No need to do anything with the system folders not mentioned in the article.
