It's like there are components installed on the server already, it detects them, updates what it thinks needed updating, and finishes. There is an entry in the Add/Remove programs for exchange. I've tried to remove it but it won't remove. So, I found a KB article on manually removing exchange, did that but there's really nothing to remove. There's not even an exchange folder on the server. Please remember that I already have a production server in the same domain. Thanks for your help... --Mike Subject: RE: Move Exch2k to a new server From: Ben Schorr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 09:43:12 -1000 X-Message-Number: 90 Anything in the Event logs?
