Don, you're exactly correct. If you rename an E2k server, the SA won't start and then obviously everything else fails too!
I did this in a test lab and then looked up the errors I received. This led me to Q273389. Of course, the reason I did this in a test lab is because I've had my first customer ask me the same thing. :-o Neil Hobson Silversands http://www.silversands.co.uk Microsoft Gold Certified Partner For Enterprise Systems For Collaborative Solutions -----Original Message----- From: Ely, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 19 February 2002 03:42 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: Renaming Server Subject: RE: Renaming Server Uhhhh... Me thinks Exch 4.0 is probably different from E2K. In answer to the question, I haven't done it, I didn't find any particular Q article on it, and I most certainly wouldn't try it due to the integration of ADS. With the integration of ADS, Exchange has become a considerable beast from what it once was. Of course, someone feel free to correct me, but my answer would be and will be, no. ;o) Don Ely Network Engineer Tripath Imaging, Inc.
