The servers' hardware is brand new, it's only 5 months old. The fan is still going well. We're thingking about the safest scenario on replacing this server using exactly the same name and configuration to prevent our 300+ users to reconfigure their outlook connection setting (server repointing). Or is there anyway to build another new server with a new name without having this, while the old one is restored. regards, Arief K _____ From: John Oligario [mailto:joligario@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 10:04 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Server HD accessed intensively http://www.MSExchange.org/ I personally would make sure there is a valid backup. How old is the server / hard disk drive? The power supply? Is the fan still going on the power supply and / or server chassis? sometimes those are warnings of worse things to come. John Oligario
