Hi Currently we have 4 Exchange Server 2003 SP1. No FE or BE over 3 locations with high speed links. They all are Windows Server 2003. One of the servers (EXCH01) is the OWA gateway with FBA that has users and public folders. I am looking at consolidating the Exchange servers to one. If I install Exchange Server 2003 Ent as a BE server, can I use the existing server EXCH01 as a FE, by moving all the users and public folders off this and then changing it to a FE server? What else is need to re configure this server to be a FE? I do not want to re-install Exchange. This server also accepts incoming mail messages from another SMTP smart host. I have read the docs from Microsoft, but its on how to start a fresh installation. Nothing about changing an already in place setup.
