Seems low-risk in that you're only overwriting a boot sector that's not set up
to boot anyhow. But to be extra careful you could/should backup the boot bits.

Recently we went through the process of moving mailboxes across to new
Ex2k3 servers within the same org.
Over 4500 mailboxes resolved the new server name OK without the need to
do a check name on the account.

It's saved in HKCU.

Hello,
I'm installing Exchange 2010. I've run into a problem where the
installer seems to have grabbed the wrong website. I want to create a
separate website in IIS for CAS to use. I can't seem to find a How-To.
