POP users experience discomfort on a daily
basis anyway. Their used to it.
Sherry,
I had the same dilemma a few months ago when I moved
to a new Exchange server. Don't sweat keeping the same server
name, use the "Ed Crowley Method" that William's link points to.
I can certainly testify that it is indeed "a beautiful thing".
Your POP users may experience momentary discomfort
(changing server names, but no big deal really) but MAPI clients
(like Outlook) do indeed automagically find their mailboxes on
the new server, plus you can take your time moving the boxes
over. That in itself is a luxury we get to enjoy all too
seldom.
I put my new server online, made sure I had it fully patched
and configured, moved my mailbox first- strictly for testing
connectivity of course ;-) then after a few days started moving user
mailboxes in mass quantities over
night.
Have fun and let us know how it goes!

Thanks, I'll be taking a look at this
too.

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
