I'm not too sure about most of your plan. But, I can tell you that Ghosting
an image from one machine to a very dissimilar machine architecture can be a
complete waste of time.

Hello all,
Here's the scenario:
* An old Domain Controller (Windows 2000 Advanced Server) is running
Exchange 2000
* We need to move all the software configuration onto a new machine
with better hardware
* The new machine will have the same domain name, IP address, etc,
etc.
Although I have not used Windows 2000, Active Directory, or Exchange 2000 (I
administer a NT network running Exchange 5.5), I have asked some friends for
advice. Here are there suggestions:
* Use a temporary PC (233MHz or something similar) and install Windows
2000 Advanced Server
* Join the existing domain with the temporary PC and synchronize
domain accounts, etc with the Domain Controller we wish to decommission
* Once all accounts have been synchronized, take temporary PC off the
network
* Put the temporary PC on a segregated network and promote it to a
Domain Controller with the same Domain Name as the original DC (Am I to use
dcpromo.exe here?)
* Install Exchange Server 2000
* Copy the dir.edb, priv.edb, pub.edb from original Exchange 2000
Server onto temporary PC
* Ghost the image from temporary PC onto new machine with new hardware
Is the information above a good strategy, or does anyone have a better
suggestion?
Thanks so much for any assistance on this!
--Jason
