Here's the situation. We have a Exchange server that was setup as a AD domain controller several years ago (Exchange 2000/Server 2000) for a small number (5) of Blackberry users. Both Exchange and Server 2000 were upgraded to Exchange 2003 and server 2003 a few years ago. The Exchange domain is also in a different forest from our normal logon domain. Now we are planning to greatly expand the number of Exchange users but before we do I want to move Exchange off of the it's current domain/forest and move it to a member server on our normal domain (different forest). What I'm looking for is the least painful method of doing this. Thanks Bill
Hi, Use the move server method as described here: http://www.swinc.com/resources/exchange/faq_db.asp?status=questions&faqID=1001&faqname=Exchange%202000§ionID=1024§ionName=Exchange%202000%20Move%20Server%20Method Leif "Bill" skrev i meddelelsen news:uM6rOH4YIHA.4324@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Here's the situation. > We have a Exchange server that was setup as a AD domain controller several > years ago (Exchange 2000/Server 2000) for a small number (5) of Blackberry > users.

Leif, Thanks for the response, but I don't think I can use that procedure, the new server is going to be a member server in a different domain.

Hi, Then you can use the migration manager - part of a normal exchange installation.
