Hello, It's time to replace a windows 2000 server at the office. I have a new server running windows 2000 and I want to move exchange from the old server to the new server so I can retire the old machine. Can you guide me on the steps that are Necessary to achive this. I have a full back up and a backup of the information store Do I need to set up the new server with the same computer name? Tank you Pat
simples method is install second exchange in that org and move mailboxes "Pat" wrote in message news:A7F4D7D0-7D11-410C-AEE8-C82D11B15CFE@microsoft.com... > Hello, > > It's time to replace a windows 2000 server at the office. > > I have a new server running windows 2000 and I want to move exchange from > the old server to the new server so I can retire the old machine. > > Can you guide me on the steps that are Necessary to achive this. > > I have a full back up and a backup of the information store > Do I need to set up the new server with the same computer name? > > > Tank you > > Pat >

Hello, thanks for the info, the article talks about dcpromo. The curent exchange server is installed on a member server and the new server is going to be a member server ae well. Do I need to make it a Dc controller in order to bring up the new server as tne new exchange server? Thanks for all the help.

Hi, You don't need to make the new server a domain controller. The article covers moving exchange servers running on both member servers and domain controllers. You should pick the appropiate for you. Leif "Pat" wrote in message news:CAA4FB1F-770E-4A65-AE24-593EC272AA29@microsoft.com... > Hello, > > thanks for the info, > > the article talks about dcpromo.
