Thankyou, Munichpostman.

Was the Exchange 5.5 server also the first Exchange server in your 5.5 site? Removing the last Exchange 5.5 server is not complicated but has a few steps. Here is the kb article which explains how to do so. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822450&Product=exch2 003 ------------------------------------------------------ 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: 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 ------------------------------------------------------ This email and any attachments are intended solely for use of the named addressee.If you received this email in error please notify the sender by return e-mail, delete this e-mail, and refrain from any disclosure or action based on the information.
