MS just jumped into the upgrade. They may have suggested otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: Ellery July [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 10:43 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Migrating to Active Directory before Exchange 2000
find and use the newest ADC for running exchange 5.5 in a W2K domain. If you have any third party products or connectors to Exchange (fax, voice mail, monitoring software, etc) be very careful because some of them will run well in a E5.5/NT or E2K/W2K environment but will create problems in a E5.5/W2K setting. I also think it is a good ideal to upgrade to W2K domain for a while before going to E2K. If MS did it that way internally - then we should at least consider it for our shops. ellery july Technical Lead Northwest Area Foundation 332 Minnesota e-1201 St. Paul, MN 55101 email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone - 651-225-3895 fax - 651-225-7695 -----Original Message----- From: ONG Liang Bu (CSC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 1:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Migrating to Active Directory before Exchange 2000 Hi, Need some help on this one. I am still in the process of research on this. Existing setup NT 4.0 SP6a, Exchange 5.5 SP4. We are in the process of upgrading. Because of budgeting it is plan in two phases. Come Jan 2002 we will migrate to win2k first then on mid 2002 then upgrade to Exchange 2000. Question is anything to lookup for? Saw somewhere when setting up Active Directory I should not used the one in win2k CD and must used the one in Exchange 2000 CD. Someone actually mentioned must used some files in SP 2 that is just released. There is some sort of stamping. The Active Directory Connector that is going to install should come from SP 2? Another question is the win2k DNS. We are still using the Unix DNS with WINS running. Since Active Directory must worked with a DNS we intend to migrate the Unix DNS to win2k DNS. Question is can I just port over the zone file in Unix DNS to win2k DNS just like that? Or is there any things that I must look out for? This list has been great through out the 2+ yrs that help me administrating Exchange 5.5. Appreciate all the guides from the experts on this list.
