what is the best way to do this? I am moving it to totally different chipsets and everything so ghosting isn't really an option. I have already upgraded the owa to 2003, but need to move it to more beefy hardware. thanks for any advice. -comb
So you are moving Exchange 2003 to new Hardware? If YES, 1. Install Exchange 2003 on new Server and have it join your existing Exchange Organization. 2. Move Mailboxes to new Exchange Server. 3. Follow this link to remove the first Exchange Server, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931 4. Update your Firewall/Router for inbound/outbound SMTP Forward Rule. -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2006 Microsoft Certified Partner "combfilter" wrote in message news:MPG.1ef11241e1a8e818989680@news.newsreader.com... > what is the best way to do this? > > I am moving it to totally different chipsets and everything so ghosting > isn't really an option.

OWA in Exchange 200x runs only on an Exchange 200x server. Is this a front-end server? If so, it doesn't have any mailboxes, and reinstalling it on new hardware should be no big deal.
