And upgrading to 5.5 is easy. Backup, Backup, and then Backup (Online) Run setup and it will upgrade in place to 5.5. Run Optimizer. Then update Exchange 5.5 to SP4, and run Optimizer again. Install the new server - Exchange 5.5, Optimizer, SP4, and Optimizer, and run the Ed Crowley Server Move - works great. Done 4 myself this way, including 1 at a remote site 1200 miles away, with a MAC technician pushing the buttons locally.

Then you should be able to use the Ed Crowley server move procedure as outlined in The FAQ.

I have purchased an HP Netserver LP 2000r, 1Ghz, 2GB ram, 72 GB of Raid 5 HD space. I would like to just install Exchange 5.5 sp4 on the new server and then migrate the mailboxes over to it. I believe this is very innocent of me and I think I will be screwing myself this way. I have browsed slipstick but I don't see a migration strategy from 5.0 to 5.5. Can anyone help me not screw myself?????
