John Upgrading is not that difficult but there are a couple of things that you will need to take care of first, a) if your Windows 2000 server is also going to be a DC, then you need to make sure you have changed the LDAP port that the Exchange 5.5 Directory Service uses to something other than 389, if you don't the Exchange 5.5 DS will conflict with your Windows 2000 DC, b) you will need to install and configure the Active Directory Connector to ensure that the info in the Exchange 5.5 DS is syn'd with AD, here is a link that explains all the step you will need to take: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/55/Upgrade2000.asp Hope this helps Mark Fugatt MCT, MCSE, Microsoft Exchange MVP Pentech Office Solutions Inc Tel: 585 586 3890 Cell: 585 576 4750 Fax: 585 249 0316 www.4mcts.com www.exchangetrainer.com -----Original Message----- From: John Steed [mailto:assassini90@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 12:37 PM To: [ExchangeList] http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi folks, I want to upgrade my Exchange 5.5 SP 4 server from Windows NT 4.0 SP 6 to Windows 2000 SP 4. Is there something I should take care off (regarding Exchange 5.5) or can I just install the new Windows software? Thanks in advance.
