RE: Migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000
Run the other way! I did a fair amount of reading and preparing and my migration to Exchange 2k is going over like a lead ballon. I'm just thankful that I've got new hardware that doesn't have to go into production immediatly. Also, make sure you have a few support incidents, I did everything by the book (according to the MS engineer) and I still spend 8 hours on the phone with a MS tech and another 3 days trying to clear the problems up! --Andrew Duey, MCSE -Original Message- From: Simon Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 2:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Hi Guys I am in the process of planning our migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 - I have finished migrating our domain to Active Directory and that all went pretty smoothly, but there were a few gotchas not mentioned in any documentation and MS's way of doing things is sometimes a little questionable. I thought before I jump into the fire I would put this out so I don't have to pull out as much hair as some of you may have ;-) It is only a single site with around 100 users with huge volumes of mail. Your advice would be very appreciated. Cheers __ Regards Simon Taylor Senior Systems Administrator ?

RE: NT 4 120 day eval situation
I think you just need to "Upgrade" this machine with a regular full version of NT4 (make sure it has SP6 in it). The "upgrade" will update the binaries to current versions but leave your configuration in place. --Andrew Duey, MCSE -Original Message- From: Schatz, Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:12 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: NT 4 120 day eval situation Hy, i have a NT 4 (SP6a) server with MXS 5.5 (SP4) running on it. Lucky as i am the server suddenly thinks it´s a 120 eval box and reboots every 2 hours. Having a look at Q173507 i´m not too happy with this solution. Has anyone used http://www.algintech.com/UTools/UDeploy.asp to solve this situation ?

RE: OT Halloween tricks
So here's the million $$ question. Did it set off the sprinklers? :-) --Andrew Duey, MCSE -Original Message- From: Cicerrella, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 12:59 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OT Halloween tricks Okay, this group just loves off topic hoohahs so here is a good one. In the US we celebrate Halloween with a fervor, at least those of us that are cool do.My company is having a Halloween party today, pizza, the whole nine yards.So, being the good techie I brought in a fog machine.One of the help desk guys turned it on in his office. It actually looked pretty cool, until it set off the smoke detector. The WHOLE six story building emptied into the street and the fire dept. came rushing up the street with sirens and lights on while crashing through red lights. Hm, the IT dept. will be living this one down for a while me thinks. Happy Halloween Everyone...
