ras2a -> Moving Exch2k to a new box (6.Mar.2006 4:29:12 PM)
|
Our current (and only) Exch 2000 server install currently resides on our only Domain Controller. I want to completely remove this and transfer it to a brand new server that we have just purchased. The new server will simply be a member server (Not a DC), but still be in the same domain..therefore, we don't need to retain the DNS/IP of the old server. In short, new machine (member server), new name, new IP, same domain.
Is there a definitive step-by-step guide on how to do this? I've read several articles, but some of them seem to have conflicting information. I would like the easiest, fastest and most reliable method.
We only operate a small exchange organisation with around 35 mailboxes in total, so I don't anticipate this taking too long. Certain things that concern me, are things such as replication and how long to leave the old server running before we uninstall. Also, I read something about transfer of Global catalog server?
Many thanks in advance for any help you guys can give. Much appreciated.
