Just the machine name for the server. outlook connects based on NetBIOS name not based on SID = ]
I agree Ed's move method would be much simpler. --Kevinm KMAP-SR, M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond http://www.daughtry.ca/ For Graphics and WebDesign, GO here! -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 10:21 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving Exchange Server 5.5 What about the SIDs? Once he names that new machine the same as the old, he will blow out the old SIDs. Why do you want to keep the same server name? While that is certainly possible, there are easier methods if you are open to a new server name (which shouldn't be a problem unless you have a specific need) -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 10:04 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving Exchange Server 5.5 You should be fine as long you are on a member server and get all the names he same. 5.5 site and org names are case sensitive. --Kevinm KMAP-SR, M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond http://www.daughtry.ca/ For Graphics and WebDesign, GO here! -----Original Message----- From: Zach Mathew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 9:53 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Moving Exchange Server 5.5 Anyone know of any issues if you try to bring a new NT 4 server into a domain using the same computer name as the old server? We are planning to move our current Exchange server 5.5 to a Compaq ML370 with 3-18 gig drives running RAID 5. The plan is to shut down the old server, install NT 4 SP6a and Exchange 5.5 Enterprise ed. on the new server and use the same server name as the old. If the install goes sour we would like to be able to bring the old server back online till problems are resolved. Would we run into problems with the SIDs (or any other problems) if we attempt to bring the old server back online once the new server is joined to the domain? Also, the existing Exchange server is a BDC as will be the new one. Would appreciate any thoughts/advice. Thanks.
