Hi, Here is how to swap your two Servers: Prepare the new server with the same partition with different name; Install the same OS, SPs, and patches. Prepare the exchange database backup from the old server (you can perform the backup as a file the target (new) Server). Remove the old one from the network. Rename the new server with the old server name. Install Exchange 2000 with /disasterrecovery Install SPs, Hotfixes same as the old one. Restore the database to the new server. Mount the database. Good luck.
