I have read/studied a number of MS docs on upgrading, but it's still not clear what is the best approach. ========================================== CURRENT NETWORK: SERVER1 - WNT4 SP6a SERVER -- PDC -- EX5.5 SP3 -- IIS -- File Server 5 W2K Pro Clients ------------------------------------------ DESIRED NEW W2K NETWORK: SERVER2 - New Machine, Clean install all SW -- W2K Adv Server SP2 RAM: 512MB HD: RAID5 27GB -- DC (Forest root) with NEW Domain name -- E2K -- File Server (all data files from SERVER1) SERVER3 - New Machine, Clean install all SW -- W2K Adv Server SP2 -- DC -- IIS 5 W2K Pro Clients OLD SERVER1 (NT4) will be decommissioned ============================================ If feasible, I'd like to build SERVER2 as a clean install of both W2K and E2K with new domain name, and then migrate all Exchange mailboxes and PF from SERVER1. I don't mind re-entering the user accounts and groups. I know that it would be better to have a RAID1 for the OS and Exchange logs, but I don't have the HW to do this. So SERVER2 will be setup as one logical drive of 27GB using RAID5. If there's any document(s) out there that addresses this scenario, please let me know. What I need to know are the best top-level steps for migrating from the all WNT4/E5.5 network to a new all W2K/E2K network. I can figure out the details. TIA for all guidance.
