I appreciate that u know that. Why I am insist u to up grade your domain to windows 2003 it is a temporary upgrade so that u can change your domain name, this activity will help u to migrate your domain on some other PC Steps 1. Your Existing domain by name somedomain.com 2. Upgrade it to windows 2003 3. Change your domain name to newsomedomain.com 4. Run LegacyDN.exc to adjust your Administrative Group Name and Organization Name if required 5. Take system state backup Run NTBACKUP 6. Take backup of your Exchange database 7. Install a new server as u required 8. Restore the system state backup and select repair option if new system does not start normally 9. Install exchange server 10. Run again LegacyDN to adjust the setting of administrative group and Exchange Organization 11. Restore the database by selecting override option 12. now your newsomedomain.com is ready Navneet -----Original Message----- From: mike [mailto:mikedampe@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 11:30 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: can i backup and restore database in different domain?? http://www.MSExchange.org/ yeah..i know that.. my question is why i should upgrade? > because windows 2000 does not provide the facility to change the name of = > existing domain=20 > > Navneet > > -----Original Message----- > From: mike [mailto:mikedampe@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 9:16 AM > To: [ExchangeList] > Subject: [exchangelist] RE: can i backup and restore database in > different domain?? > > > http://www.MSExchange.org/ > > why i should upgrade existing domain in existing windows 2000 server? > i want to install windows 2003 server in a new server(PC) and then move > the database from old server to the new server. > > > > > first of all u have to Upgarde the existing domain to windows 2003 an = > =3D > > dthe changed the name of to desire one the only it is possible=3D20 > > Regards > >=20 > > -----Original Message----- > > From: mike [mailto:mikedampe@xxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 11:28 AM > > To: [ExchangeList] > > Subject: [exchangelist] RE: can i backup and restore database in > > different domain?? > >=20 > >=20 > > http://www.MSExchange.org/ > >=20 > > ya, i'm serious. but i want to change my domain name in different > > server.cause i'm already install windows 2003 server in another =3D > > computer. > > the problem is when i restore the exchange database to windows 2003 = > =3D > > server > > computer.. so i don't have to upgrade domain. > >=20 > > regards, > > mike > >=20 > > > Are U serious to change the domain name=3D3D20 > > > 1.
