Just a bit more information.........Current Exchange server resides on their PDC........I've built another Winnt 4.0 server to act as a BDC and Exchange server........I have not yet installed Exchange on the new server as I will do this on site........Has anyone used the Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard? This tool comes with SP4 for Exchange. Let me know what you think. Thanks everyone.

To be on the safe side, do not delete the databases of the new server, rename them instead. I would like to know the outcome. Hope that helps.

Can I just copy the priv.edb and the pub.edb? I'm sure this is a simple procedure but I haven't done it before. Thanks.
