At the exchange system manager you'll find the Recipient Update Services. After installing the second server and moving all the mailboxes to the new one using AD Users and Computers, you'll have to configure the Update services to point the clients to the new server. You may disable the exchange services on the initial server after all the clients (i.e. Outlook) have been restarted at least once and the users profiles have been updated according to the settings you've changed at the Update Services properties window. We've made this transition following an article found on the MS website, though I couldn't find which one. However, we didn't have any problems during the transition. We made it during off-time of course. Regarding the IP addresses, there shouldn't be any considerations. Just make sure the clients are able to ping it by it's name. That's all. We made this transition to move from a single server, which was also a DC as well, to the Exchange cluster server configured active-passive and the move was swift. I cannot help you about the ISA server issue, since I am not familiar with that one. Hope this helps...

I dont want to loose any e-mails of the users. i have gone thrro some of the old messages here. i found 2 methods which are feasable. 1) very well explained in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q297289. its fine. 2) install a another E2K server and move all the mailboxes to new server. and remove the old machine. My question is: - does the 2 method redirect the clients automatically to the new machine ? - is there any article in MS Knowledgebase about the 2 method ? - what IP addresse should be assigned to the new machine in both the cases ? - As My exchange server is published by ISA server. I would like to know which is the best method to follow without disturbing the Publishing of E2K through ISA. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
