Lizzy, From everything I have read regarding the upgrade process, slapping a cd in and saying upgrade is a very bad idea. I'm in the middle of my migration now, and I have sever problem with my move mailbox wizard, which is taking MS forever to figure out. My recommendation to you, is if you aren't comfortable with it, then hire a consultant. This upgrade isn't for the faint of heart. Otherwise, you have a lot of research to do before you ever touch the product. Good Luck, Garland -----Original Message----- From: Lizzy [mailto:lizz@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 7:33 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2K and Win2K migration http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! Hi, I've been thrown into the deep end at work. I have been asked to do something i don't know anything about. Currently we are running exchange 5.5 on win nt. But the boss wants to upgrade to E2K and W2K. Seeing that the server is mission critical i am very nervous about running upgrades on it. So I came up with a non-stressful idea, i just don't know if it would work. Is it plausible to do a clean install of W2K and E2K on a new harddrive (the databases are small) and copy over exchange 5.5 information stores? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. References, tips, anything. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: gmacneil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
