Look on the Microsoft support website for article Q307917 'How to remove the first exchange 2000 server computer from the site'. There are some roles which are only held on the first server in the Exch Org. The article explains how to transfer them to another server before you remove the first. -----Original Message----- From: Chris McNally [mailto:cmcnally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 January 2003 17:57 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Post-Server Move http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi all, I successfully moved my Exchange 2000 from its original box to a new machine. All accounts, public folders, default store, etc. are now on the new machine. With that done I suspected that the original box being offline would have no effect but in fact if the original box is offline then all Outlook clients are offline as well. All clients are pointing to the new server. My thoughts are to disable the exchange services on the original box and they can sit there in waiting as a restoration receptacle if ever needed. I would appreciate any thoughts as to why the original box still needs to be online. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------ ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: m.dewell@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
