Hi I have been doing the same a few days ago. Although I ran into problems when replicating the public folder store. On the end, I exported the public folders using Outlook to a PST file and imported into the new server. The moving of the user mailboxes is a piece of cake. And a tip: When users now have a connection to their mailbox on server A and you move their mailbox to server B, keep Exchange on A running for a while, because, when a user make a connection, his outlook will want to talk to A, but A tells them to connect to B. If A is no longer active, users would report errors trying to connect. An article which is of very good use: XADM: How to Remove the First Exchange 2000 Server Computer from the Site http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307917 Goodluck !!! Oh and do create a backup and try to test in a test-environment...... .(VMWare is great for this) Gabrie ________________________________ From: saker klippsten [mailto:saker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wed 9/24/2003 4:33 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Moving Exchange2000 to a new server. http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello all. I have an Exchange Server 2000Sp3 Setup on Win2k Advanced Server this is ADC as well as the e-mail server. I want to move exchange2000 to a seperate box. We have been having some funky problems with our current server. We have 50 users setup and I dont want to start from scratch with a new domain blah blah. What would be the best way to go about migrating this to a new box preserving our current domain and all the users as well as our mail server. For the future is it better to have exchange on a seperate box than our ADC? and how would I set that up. thanks for your time -Saker ------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: gabrie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
