Thanks Chris. I admit this is the only part I wasn't sure on, if I gave a new NT account service admin rights over the site and config containers but I couldn't find any articles relating to if this would work. I guess it would still be okay when you removed the first server in the site?
I had read the SWINC FAQ but discounted it as I had a multi-server, multi-site implementation and the article and Q152808 suggested this method could only be used in a single server, single site deployment.

Making the change isn't trivial, but it is possible. -----Original Message----- From: Bendall, Paul To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 1/16/2002 7:46 AM Subject: Clarify Service account understanding, please Hope you guys can help with this query to checkout my chain of thought. Exchange 5.5 Organisation, multi-ste and multi-server. Current servers are located in a resource domain with a trust relationship to the user domain. The resource domain needs to be retired to consolidate domains, the service account is in the resource domain. I have new servers to move into the site and do an Ed C Server Move, but that would require the new servers to use the existing service account when they join the site. Therefore the only way to remove the resource domain and get over the service account problem would be to create a new site with a new service account. Am I right or have I missed something? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee and are confidential.
