Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network
We are changing our Windows NT network to Win2K.

RE: Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network
What? You most certainly can run Exchange 5.5 on NT4 (or 2000 server for that matter) in an AD domain. You don't even need the DS client to do so. If I'm understanding the original question correctly, you want to upgrade your PDC to win2k creating (or joining) an AD forest. You want to leave your exchange 5.5 server, which is presumably a member of the upgraded domain, running NT4. Correct? This will work just fine. You could upgrade the exchange 5.5 server to windows 2000, but I wouldn't bother. Build a new win2k server, install E2K, joining your existing exchange org. Migrate your mailboxes to the new server, retire the old. There's lots of little details you have to pay attention to along the way, but MS has tons of documents available to step you through the whole process. -Original Message- From: Bingel, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:28 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network You can't run it with the AD client on NT4? -Original Message- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network Its not only possible, its required. -Original Message- From: Keith Boettcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network We are changing our Windows NT network to Win2K.

RE: Exchange Server 5.5 and Win 2000 network
Thank all of you for your advice. Ken Cornetet understood what I meant to say. We are upgrading our PDC to Win2K, etc. The exchange 5.5 server is in our current domain and will be a member of the upgraded Win2K domain. The Exchange 5.5 server will continue to run under NT4 server. [I'm paraphrasing Mr. Cornetet's response to confirm that's our plan.] Next (after an undertermined interval of time) will be to move to Exchange 2000 running on a win2k server box in the same Win2K domain. I realize that migration will take some planning and care, but I'm not asking for advice on that move yet. Thank you all. -Keith _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
