Exchange 5.5 Upgrade
Title: Exchange 5.5 Upgrade I've got another question. It doesn't look like my new Exchange server is going to ship for another couple of weeks, bummer. However, I did receive the Exchange 5.5 Enterprise media. My question is this: According to Q240152, I just need to run the setup.exe from the Enterprise CD to change the Type attribute to give me an unlimited store. Does anyone have an idea of how long this upgrade might take? I have an approximately 14.5 GB IS, Exchange 5.5 Standard, SP4, Windows NT 4.0, SP6. I just need a guestimate of time to determine when I can schedule an outage to do this. TIA, Sherry Abercrombie Data Center Administration Team Information Technology With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

Title: Exchange 5.5 Upgrade When I was forced to do this at a company I mentioned in an earlier thread about the store limitations it was done during business hours because Exchange was down J. Time to run the Enterprise setup from CD and reapply the Exchange service packs to the server and have it handling mail again was less than an hourthat was after running a backup first of course. That was on a Dell 4200 with dual processors and 512 Megs of Ram. Luckily all the inbound mail queued on a Unix relay box so we really only lost productivity time.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Upgrade
Title: Message Thanks Jay. I'm scheduling a backup to run tomorrow morning @0400 and I'll be here @0500 to do the upgrade. I do have a Linux box sitting in front of Exchange that will queue up inbound email. Sounds like an easy thing to do and I'll get an early start on the holiday weekend :) Sherry Abercrombie Data Center Administration Team Information Technology "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine." -Original Message-From: Jay Personette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 10:16 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Exchange 5.5 Upgrade When I was forced to do this at a company I mentioned in an earlier thread about the store limitations it was done during business hours because Exchange was down J.
