Once I had a hairy migration from 5.5 to 2000. I could not do an in-place migration because 5.5 server was the only one that the organization had.
when I installed a new Exchange 2000 server and joined it to the existing 5.5 org, everything seemed to work fine, but in the end the 5.5 server was not available in the Servers container on the Ex2K side, and vice versa - the Ex2K server was not visible from the Ex5.5 side. I finally quit tryin to join a 2000 server to existing 5.5 org. Instead I installed a dummy 5.5 server into the same 5.5 org and joined the site. That worked out well. Then I did an in-place upgrade of the dummy 5.5 server to Ex2K. It worked. Then I installed a real Ex2K server into the org, moved all the users over, then killed the original 5.5 server and then killed the dummy Ex2K server. -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: replication issue Looks like a name resolution error. When you added the 2nd server into the existing site, didnt you get some error messages? Try adding the names of the other Exch server into each respective server's hosts files. RPCPing is also your friend. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 12:37 PM Subject: replication issue > Situation: Exchange 5.5 sp4 running on NT4 (sp6a).
