I do volunteer work for my church where they have an older Exchange 5.5 on
a Compaq. They also have a newer, Dell 1400 server with Active Directory
and Exchange 2000 on it.
5.5 server: Windows 2k Adv. Server SP2, Exchange 5.5 SP4
Ex2000 Server: Windows 2k adv. server SP2, Exchange 2000 SP2.
ADC installed, etc.
The 5.5 server will not fully boot. It just sits there saying "Preparing
Network Connections..." Looks like a hard disk error or controller error.
The server will boot in Safe Mode with Networking, so I can get the db
files off of it and perhaps try ExMerge??
Even before this crash, I was going to migrate the mailboxes from 5.5 to
2000, but I can't get any accounts to logon to the new Exchange 2000
server other than the Administrator account.
In other words, if I create a new User in Active Directory and create a
new Exchange 2000 mailbox for them, they can't attach to it from Outlook.
The Administator can attach to his mailbox, but no one else.
I thought it migh be a permissions issue or something, but each person has
"Full Mailbox Access" under the Exchange Advanced tab.
What could I be missing?
I need some ideas:
1. How to restore the mail from the DB files off the old Exchange 5.5
server... Exmerge to PST... then import into Outlook?
2. How can I fix Exchange 2000 so users can login to their new mailboxes?
(re-install Exchange 2000??)
Thanks!
