Hello, I need to move an existing Exchange 2003 server running on windows 2000 to a new server hardware running windows 2003. Has anybody have any article on this. So, far I read article saying both the OS should be same when moving exchange installation to retain name servername on new server hardware. thanks for your suggestions. thanks
If it's new hardware just bring up the new server with 2003/2003 and move the mailboxes over.

If I move mailboxes will outlook client automatically switch over to the new server ? I would like to avoid workstation visit to update out look profile. Pls forward any article on this. thanks for your reply.

Thankyou for you response, iv already seen the link you forwarded, however, point 3 says... "Bring the box up to the same Windows 2000 service pack and hotfix level as the existing Exchange 2000 server" The original server is a windows 2000 server. The new machine i would like to move to is windows 2003. Scince the instructions you kindly forwarded imply that both servers are of the same OS, im a little reluctant to act. any other ideas? Thanks in advance. Stressed-out-Gaz.

Hi, As you are going to move the mailboxes/public folders just ignore this point. I have done this successfully numerous times and it works.
