Maybe yes, however I'm not sure is it possible to have one node with windows 2000 and second with 2003... -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 3:19 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Moving cluster into new hardware http://www.MSExchange.org/ Wouldn't it make more sense to evict one node of the cluster, add in the new hardware, rejoin the cluster, and then repeat for the other node? Isn't that one of the advantages of the cluster technology? I believe there's also a whitepaper on how to recover a cluster, but moving to new hardware may not be covered.

But also, I'd like somehow to retain network name of Exchange server. Is it possible to rename running exchange server? Any ideas what side-effect this could cause?
