It is not that hard to change over from nt to win2k http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt echnol/exchange/exchange2000/deploy/upgrdmigrate/e2kguide.asp -----Original Message----- From: Lizzy [mailto:lizz@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 3:33 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2K and Win2K migration http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! Hi, I've been thrown into the deep end at work. I have been asked to do something i don't know anything about. Currently we are running exchange 5.5 on win nt. But the boss wants to upgrade to E2K and W2K. Seeing that the server is mission critical i am very nervous about running upgrades on it. So I came up with a non-stressful idea, i just don't know if it would work. Is it plausible to do a clean install of W2K and E2K on a new harddrive (the databases are small) and copy over exchange 5.5 information stores? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. References, tips, anything. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: robert@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') **************************************************************** This mail was content checked for malicious code and viruses by MailSecurity.
