Hello, We have Exch 5.5 SP4 servers in 4 offices and after laying down our Active Directory, the time has come to upgrade to Exch 2003.
I looked through this KB article on the swing server method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821896 and thought that the upgrade process could be done through this method without actually using it as a swing. The hardware for the old Exch 5.5 servers holding mailboxes can be retired given their anemic spec's. Is it possible to just install Exch 2003 and join the current site, and then move mailboxes? We have two Exch 5.5 servers on the edge of our network, one which processes and routes incoming/outgoing mail, and another which handles blackberry users on a BES. Can these be left alone and remain functioning? Will the routing server on the edge, direct mail to an Exch 2003 server and also send mail? Thanks for any help, Joon _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
