I just wanted to add, that in Outlook, in the Exchange settings the server is set to SERVER2 (for example) . The new server will be SERVER3. I didn't configure it with something like mail.domain.org. are you suggesting putting in like a host record for SERVER2 that points to the same IP as server3 ? this sounds like it may work... -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Periyasamy, Raj [mailto:Raj.Periyasamy@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 3:57 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange upgrade- problem with Cached Mode setting http://www.MSExchange.org/ When you upgrade to a new server, I assume you will be doing a move mailbox method upgrade. In this case, you don't have to change the profile manually. The profile will automatically reconfigure itself once the mailbox is moved to the new server. Once you finish moving all mailboxes, you can leave the old dns name in the DNS server pointing to a DC. That will automatically resolve the correct names if any old profiles tried to connect to Exchange. You never need any user intervention if you use the move mailbox method for profile reconfiguration.

I am having a problem with an Office 2003 deployment that I pushed through the Custom Installation Wizard/MST. The MST set users' Outlook so that cached mode could not be chosen, and it became greyed out. I have since changed that, (because I am now a fan of the cached mode) The problem is, users that had that setting cannot change the cached mode setting or the mail server (greyed out). This will be a problem when upgrading to a new server (with new server name). My only workaround has been to delete the user's Windows profile. this tip was given to me but doesn't work: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/cachedmoderegkey.htm if anyone overcame this obstacle, please let me know how. thanks in advance. -J ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: raj.periyasamy@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: JLehrhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The HealthCare Chaplaincy is a multifaith community of professionals from many cultures dedicated to caring for persons in spirit, mind, and body.
