Sorry, my Question was incomplete, I am actually migrating my current Exchange 5.5 SP3 on NT4 to Exchange 5.5 Enterprise Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This will completely replace the old server.

Thanks

Following are the key areas :

1. We need to move each mail box one by one from the old server to new one, which needs lot of patience and time.

2. New mail server should have IMS installed and enabled.

3. DNS Server entries for MX records should be changed according to the Hostname of new server.

4. Finally, discard old mail server and give same IP address to new server.

Hope this info would be useful to you.

First, install your new server as BDC then install Exchange server connecting to the existing site where your current users reside (same organization too).

From the first Exchange Server, run the Admin for Exchange and use the Move mailbox utility .

If you want your old server remove and its the PDC, you can remove it and promote any of your BDC server(if you have more than one) to PDC.

You can now configure your client specifying the new server name.

If you want, you can implement the personal folder setup where every user have the copy of their email at their local drive, with this you can easily install new server w/o moving any mailbox.

Hope this help....

Or go to www.microsoft.com, and type Q155216 in the little search box at the top left of the first page.
