I agree. I stay away from SBS period. Too much of a hassle.

What is SBE? Are your refering to Small Business Server (SBS)? Keep in
= mind that SBS for NT 4.0 was a stripped down, self-contained product.
= It does not play nice with other servers. Best thing to do is not to
= integrate, but to extract and start over.

I would check your local DNS settings on your Exchange 5.5 server. If =
they appear to be in order, then it may call for you to reboot your
server. = BTW, what version of Windows is your 5.5 server?

Hey guys, one thing I'm having problem now is when I try to replicate =
my Public folder, I need to do this from Exchange 5.5 Admin. But from
Exchange 5.5 Admin, I can't seem to get a connection to Domain =
Controller. It kept telling me that "Microsoft Exchange Administrator,
Failed to = connect to Windows NT Domain Controller". I think it is
still looking for my = old NT4.0 PDC which is no longer there since it
got upgraded to W2K DC. And = yes, I do have that DC running PDC
emulation.=20

Forgot to mention, it's not the MOVE command in the ADU&C MMC snapin, =
you need to make sure that you have the Exchange Features context menu =
option. If you don't have this, then you either have a problem with the
ADC = Schema update, or you don't have the Exchange 2000 Admin Tools
installed.

Importance: High
Actually, you can only use Active Directory Users and Computers MMC =
Snapin to move users from Exchange 5.x to Exchange 2000. After you do
this, = SYNC the domain so AD is updated. ALSO, make sure that you HAVE
ABSOLUTELY = NO DNS PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. I would move one mailbox as
a test, then try = to send and receive email both internally and
externally. I ran into a = problem recently where the Exchange 5.5
server had a different DNS Suffix than = what the Internal DNS namespace
was, and was causing MTA Bind issues. Once I changed this in the NIC
properties, I still had the same problem. It = turned out that the DNS
entry for the Exchange 5.5 server was never created, so when I created
it I restarted the Exchange 2000 MTA Stacks service, and = mail was
flowing just fine.

Wait! Are the two servers in the same site? If so, you don't have to =
