I had Exchange 5.5 running on Win NT 4.0 SP 6a.
I wanted it moved to Win 2000.
I installed Exchange 5.5 on the Win 2000 Server. Both servers were in
the same domain and were accessible to each other. When installing Exch
5.5 on the Win2k server, it asked if I wanted to join an already existing
Exchange, and I said yes.
I made sure to bring the new Exch to the same SP level as the old one.
I also made sure OWA was installed with the whole kit and caboodle.
I then used Move Mailbox to move them all over. I did them in clumps by
highlighting them a block at a time. Did not take very long. Pretty slick.
I then made sure all the various maint schedules were the same on both
servers (In Exch Admin program, under servers, you should see both the old and
new server listed!), made sure all the anti-relay was set up the same, etc.
etc.
I let both run for a day or two, then, on the old NT 4.0 server, I simply
stopped the services from running. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago, and even OWA is
still working!
one of these days, I'll switch it over to Exch 2000 running on Win 2000,
but Exch 5.5 is fine for now. Too many changes all at once will lead to overuse
of the Tylenol!

Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 off of a
NT 4.5 SBS Server (solution)
Is
it not possible to add the server to the organisation and site as another
server then use Move Mailbox to the new server? I've spoken to Microsoft
who told me that you can add another Exchange server to the
site.
Or
am I just being naive?

1. Search Google for "Ed Crowley Server Move
Method". Print it.
2. Print the MS KB
articles Ed mentions.
3. Carefully, very
carefully, perform the move exactly how Ed describes.
After it is done, quietly wonder to yourself what an
incredible piece of IT work you just accomplished- and how little it will be
appreciated by the organization.

Subject: Moving
Exchange 5.5 off of a NT 4.5 SBS Server
Does any one have any experience of moving Exchange 5.5 off of
a server
running SBS 4.5 onto another server.
I would like to move it to a Win 2000 server in the same
Domain.
I would then like to make the SBS Server into full NT 4 server
before
eventually migrating fully to a win 2000
domain.
Currently the SBS Server is only running Exchange and file and
print
services.
Thank you in advance for ant help.
