Thanks Zoran, That has been the entire plan, but was concerned about the storage .. if the advanced editions may not recognize it. -----Original Message----- From: Zoran [mailto:zmarjanovic@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 11:15 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Moving Exchange 2003 / win 2003 to cluster and enterprise editions. http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Syed, you just need to install w2k3 (advanced/enterprize edition) on the new hardware, install clustering service, configure clustering, install E2k3 on the new hardware (it will install exchange's cluster aware services) and that's it. If you already have messages on your exchange, restore it from backup. Before you conect the new hardware to your net, reset the account of your old exchange in AD (computer account). Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------
