I have an exchange server that was mangled before I started working here. It is an Exchange 2000 Enterprise server running on windows 2000. I want to upgrade it to Server / Exchange 2003 but I know that there are MANY MANY problems with the IIS permissions , and the server design including the hard drive layout is totally wrong for the size of the server. What is the best way to move the databases off the server , format / reinstall and move the databases back in place, or is this even possible? Please help.. ;) Jack Spradling IT Manager ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ 200 Michael Angelo Way, Austin, TX 78728 (512) 218-3636 (512) 736-3108 jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ 218803
