Hi Eric,

        I've just finished doing a full swing upgrade to E2K, the second part of the 
swing being to move from one E2K box to another.  Honestly, it was probably the least 
painfull Exchange procedure I've had to do recently.   In a nutshell:

#1. Install E2k
#2. Move the mailboxes using AD User and Computers (Right click, Exchange Tasks)
#3. Replicate the other folders (Q284148, steps 4-8)
#4. Setup the needed connectors, transfer the routing role
#5. Uninstall E2K from the original server

        It's late and it's been a long day, so I can't promise that I didn't miss 
anything :)

Subject: Moving an Exchange 2K Server to another machine...


Hello,

    I sure hope someone can help me on that... So here it is :

    I have a E2K Server. It is installed on the DC, since the management did not want 
to spend the money on two servers at the time. Now that we have the money, I want (and 
need) to "transfer" the installed mail server to a new server. I will obviously have 
to change the mail server's name since I cannot have two computers (DC and mail 
server) with the same name on the same network.

    Is there a SURE way to do that?


Thank you,

Eric
