Currently, we are running one server with AD, DNS, IIS, Exchange and Veritas backup 9. I am thinking as following. (1) Installed Windows 2003 and Join the current domain (2) Apply all the service pack and patches to new Windows 2003 (3) Installed exchange 2003 in existing Exchange 2000 organization (4) Apply latest service pack to Exchange 2003 (5) Create New Storage on this new server (6) Move Mail box to new storage (7) Let all the users log in and update there profiles (8) Change my MX record to point to new server (9) Remove my old server and reinstall windows 2003 on it and move my IIS and DNS on that server Any Pitfall in the above procedure guys and girls? Any suggestion or advice will be greatly appreciated Sunny(Shyamal) ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: zoran.marjanovic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
