If you have not yet, it would be a good idea to check out the docs on
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/default.m
spx especially the readme, What's New, and Deployment docs.  IIRC you'll
find your answer to that in those docs as well as some good step by step
ways to upgrade.

Maybe yes, however I'm not sure is it possible to have one node with windows
2000 and second with 2003...

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.

Hello,
I'd like to move existing cluster into new hardware. 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?

Thanks for any ideas,

Chris
