Do you have on or two AD servers now? I would be happy to help you move the AD via emails, its not hard, you just have to do all the steps required... -=j Jack Spradling The Art of Italian Cuisine Director of IT Michael Angelo's Gourmet Foods 200 Michael Angelo Way Austin TX 78728 United States <http://maps.google.com/maps?q=200+Michael+Angelo+Way%2cAustin%2cTX%2c78728%2cUnited+States> jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.michaelangelos.com <http://www.michaelangelos.com/> Ph: 512.218.3636 Fax: 512.218.3600 Mobile: 218.736.3108 ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew English Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 2:23 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Swing AD or Exchange Currently I have a Dell PowerEdge 2650 running dual Xeon, with 3GB of RAM which was setup by the IT guy before me running AD and Exchange 2003 Server. I want to know what's the best plan of attack to swing either AD or Exchange 2003 because yesterday the server tanked, I was able to get back up and stable again, however I think its probably I good ideal to separate the AD from Exchange so don't run into problems again. Someone suggested to me that I created a new AD and replicate it with the existing one, once its fully replicated and everything is working to snuff move over the fsmo roles and demote the AD on the eXchange. I am wondering what else I am going to need to do after that's done so that Exchange doesn't whipe out. Regards, Andrew
