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.
