RE: Another Exchange 4.0 to 5.5 question
Well on #2 where I run into a problem is the fact that 4.0 only supports one server in the site. So I guess I need to find a copy of Exchange 4.0 Enterprise? The connector he speaks of, would that be on the same CD or where would I find that? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Drewski Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 10:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Another Exchange 4.0 to 5.5 question 1) yes. 2) Yes.

RE: Another Exchange 4.0 to 5.5 question
whups, my bad, forgot about that limitation of 4.0. I'd get lots of good backups and run an upgrade to 5.5, then use the move server method to the new 5.5 box.
