[THIN] Re: OT: Exchange 5.5 to 2K upgrade question

What is SBE?  Are your refering to Small Business Server (SBS)? Keep in =
mind that SBS for NT 4.0 was a stripped down, self-contained product.  =
It does not play nice with other servers.  Best thing to do is not to =
integrate, but to extract and start over.

I would check your local DNS settings on your Exchange 5.5 server.  If =
they
appear to be in order, then it may call for you to reboot your server.  =
BTW,
what version of Windows is your 5.5 server?

Hey guys,  one thing I'm having problem now is when I try to replicate =
my
Public folder,  I need to do this from Exchange 5.5 Admin.  But from
Exchange 5.5 Admin, I can't seem to get a connection to Domain =
Controller.
It kept telling me that "Microsoft Exchange Administrator, Failed to =
connect
to Windows NT Domain Controller".  I think it is still looking for my =
old
NT4.0 PDC which is no longer there since it got upgraded to W2K DC. And =
yes,
I do have that DC running PDC emulation.=20

Forgot to mention, it's not the MOVE command in the ADU&C MMC snapin, =
you
need to make sure that you have the Exchange Features context menu =
option.
If you don't have this, then you either have a problem with the ADC =
Schema
update, or you don't have the Exchange 2000 Admin Tools installed.

Actually, you can only use Active Directory Users and Computers MMC =
Snapin
to move users from Exchange 5.x to Exchange 2000.  After you do this, =
SYNC
the domain so AD is updated.  ALSO, make sure that you HAVE ABSOLUTELY =
NO
DNS PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER.  I would move one mailbox as a test, then try =
to
send and receive email both internally and externally. I ran into a =
problem
recently where the Exchange 5.5 server had a different DNS Suffix than =
what
the Internal DNS namespace was, and was causing MTA Bind issues.  Once I
changed this in the NIC properties, I still had the same problem.  It =
turned
out that the DNS entry for the Exchange 5.5 server was never created, so
when I created it I restarted the Exchange 2000 MTA Stacks service, and =
mail
was flowing just fine.

Wait!  Are the two servers in the same site?  If so, you don't have to =
