That's certainly one way.

 

Personally, I would consider getting over the need to maintain the same servername, and install the second server and move the mailboxes.  It is just easier, less down time, MAPI clients automatically get pointed to the new server.  It's a beautiful thing.

I will be installing a new Exchange server box this weekend.  (Yeah)  My question is:  Is the method described in Q155216 the best way to move an Exchange server?

I will be upgrading to Exchange 5.5 Enterprise in this move, however, I want to have the same computer, organization, site name etc. to keep the impact on users to the minimum.  Neither the old, nor the new server is a PDC or BDC.  After reading this article through several times I believe that this is the way I want to do this, but would like to have that confirmed for you guys and gals on the list.

TIA
