Title: Ed Crowley Server Move Method I would avoid the use of recipient containers in Exchange 5.5 because though well-intended, they limit you're maneouverability later as mailboxes do not easily move from container to container.

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method
if win2k is the OS, SP the Exchange server and OS to the latest ... and read up on the white papers -Original Message- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 08:17 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ed Crowley Server Move Method Hi I am currently running Exch 5.5 sp4 on a NT 4.0 sp6a + Hot fixes. This machine was the 1st NT machine in the company and was originally configured as a PDC. Exch 5 was then installed on this box (before my time) and has since been upgraded to 5.5. Since then I have added other NT 4 servers several of which are Domain Controllers and one has been promoted to the PDC and the Exch box now functions as a BDC. I am installing HP LH 3000 that I want to migrate my Exch 5.5 to (not anywhere ready for E2k) both for performance issues and getting Exch 5.5 off a Domain Controller. I was going to install NT 4 on the HP but now think that putting W2K may be the better choice. However, it will be the only W2k server in the environment, no AD and a member server of the NT4 Domain. After the server is up running in the Domain, I would then install the Ex 5.5 and Sp4 and follow the "E.C." server move method. Are there any pitfalls in my plan that I am not recognizing ?

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method
You just need to make sure that you install all the service packs for Exchange 5.5 if your going to install it on a Win2k server. AD is not needed. When you run setup from the Exchange 5.5 cd, you will get an error message basically saying that the setup program won't run/shouldn't be run on the server but just ignore this and continue with the installation. Then install SP4 and away you go -Original Message- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 October 2001 13:17 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ed Crowley Server Move Method Hi I am currently running Exch 5.5 sp4 on a NT 4.0 sp6a + Hot fixes.

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method
Running Exch55 on W2K is great. Much more stable in my opinion. And having a W2K server in an NT4 domain is no issue at all. There is/was a whitepaper on the MS site regarding installing Exch55 on W2K server. The one thing to remember is that if you choose to run OWA on the Exch server, you will need to make sure you don't let SMTP be installed along with IIS during the W2K install process. Other than that, once you SP Exch up to SP4, you will be fine. -Original Message- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 5:17 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ed Crowley Server Move Method Hi I am currently running Exch 5.5 sp4 on a NT 4.0 sp6a + Hot fixes.

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method
One other thing that may be of note, If you are running 5.5 enterprise edition and need to install OWA you will need to rename the exe to setup.exe from srvmin.exe or srvmax.exe. Otherwise it will not let you install OWA on Win2K. Straight from MS's mouth. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 7:34 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method Running Exch55 on W2K is great.

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method
Thanks to all who replied. I did download the 5.5 to W2k Migration White paper as someone suggested and will use as a guide. My current Exch55 is running OWA on the same machine but my plan is not to put OWA on the new Exch Server. I plan to install IIS on another server then install OWA on that machine and point it to the new (moved) Exchange server.
