Re: Note on moving Exch 5.5
Well I found something. There was still a DNS entry for the old IP address. I originally intended to make it separate and make it mail2 or something similar in DNS.

Can anyone elaborate on how that works on an NT 4 domain? WINS is correct and a conflicting DNS entry is there? Why does DNS take precedence on an NT4 domain? I thought that was a 2K thing???
