Hi there, We're running Exchange 2000 Server. I'm planning on replacing the current NIC card with a faster model. I just want to double check my steps to make sure the upgrade will go smoothly 1) Make a full backup of the DBs/System State 2) Stop all Exchange-related service & set them to manual 3) Remove the current NIC in device manager 4) Shutdown the server & remove the NIC 5) Replace with the new NIC 6) Power on the server & configure the new NIC 7) Start Exchange services (put back to 'Automatic') Did I forget anything? Does my procedure look ok? TIA Regards, Veets
