This article is a bit rough round the edges! I mean, we're told to run EXDEPLOY.CHM - much easier to double-click the EXDEPLOY.HTA file and you're straight in. Also, if I've deployed IM or Conferencing I should consider deleting these before updating the server? 'Consider' is the wrong word here, since you have to REMOVE these before you can upgrade those servers to E2k3. And I'm also advised to run ntdsatrb.exe on the Exchange 2003 CD to resolve duplicate Primary NT Accounts? What happened to the Resource Mailbox Wizard in the ADC? Ntdsatrb.exe isn't on the E2k3 CD! Hmmmm....4/10...must try harder. :-) Neil -----Original Message----- From: MSExchange.org [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 30 October 2003 13:00 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] MSExchange.org - Real-Time Article Update http://www.MSExchange.org/ Title: Migrating from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003 Author: Markus Klein Summary: Many companies are still using Exchange Server 5.5 as their primary email and collaboration system. With the end of Microsoft's support of this release within 2003 they have to decide to move to a new release of Exchange Server. Within this article you will get a detailed overview on how to migrate an Exchange 5.5 directory to a new Windows Server 2003 supported Exchange Server 2003 environment. Because an in place upgrade is not supported, it won't be covered in this article.
