[ExchangeList] Re: Migration of Exchange 2003 to New Hardware

Mitul,

From my experience it's best to just use a totally different IP address and computer name for your new server.  Private IP addresses are a dime a dozen. Are you still typing the old OWA address?  To add what James mentioned, if you're in a single server setup you're going to have to type in the new server's address (http://servername/exchange) to access the new mailboxes.  You're going to have to do it that way until you have the mailboxes fully migrated at that point you can change your DNS to point to the new server for the mailboxes.  I might of missed a few points but that's the jist of it.

Hope that helps.

To further elaborate we are using a Single Exchange Server model and it is not FE-BE setup. What we are trying is to migrate the Exchange with AD to a new box.

Mitul,

Are there any firewalls between your OWA server and your backend server?  Maybe you need to write the same rules on the firewall for the new backend server your migrated these 6-7 mailboxes to.

Hi all,
 
We are in a process of moving an existing Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition with AD to another new server. Once moved the old server will be decommissioned. We have kept the domain name same. We are also going to retain the IP addresses.
 
We have already setup the new server as ADC and installed Exchange 2003 SP2 in the same Organization. The Server is also acting as a global catalog. We have replicated the Public Folders and Offline Address list. We have tried moving 6-7 mailboxes on the new server. After moving the mailboxes when we try to access them using the same OWA URL which was used earlier we do get a login page, But after inserting the login and password for moved mailboxes we get page cannot be displayed. Can somebody throw light on this behaviour. Also it would be helpful in case somebody can guide the procedure to move forward on this migration.

Appreciate your feedback and thanks in advance.
 
Thanks & Regards
Mitul Zaveri
