Title: [ActiveDir] Exchange: decommission the exchange 2000 server

That is perfect. Thanks, S From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange: decommission the exchange 2000 server   I am not aware of a white paper for this. But to answer your specific question on PF transfer, the easiest way (for me) is to add the replica of the PF to the new Exchange Server. Wit for a sufficiently long period of time for the Replica to come over, then remove the Original Exchange server from the Replica list.   Also, look at PFAdmin. I think it's on the Exchange CD.   "Sufficiently long time" is relative and depends on things like the size of the PF, the size of the network pipe between the 2 servers, etc. There are other considerations involved in retiring your original Exchange server besides rehoming the PF. If you need more info, post the question.   HTH   Sincerely, D�j� Ak�m�l�f�, MCSE MCSA MCP+I www.akomolafe.com www.iyaburo.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday?  -anon   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Steve Shaff Sent: Thu 12/11/2003 1:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange: decommission the exchange 2000 server Group, We are getting ready to decommission the exchange 2000 server and transfer all the roles to the exchange 2003 server.  Are there any white papers or documents on how to do this?  I seem to be missing how you transfer the public folder dbs to the new server.  Any ideas, problem area, etc that I should be aware of? I was looking at the kb article (307917). This does not help, since the tabs have changed with the addition of the 2003 server.  Thanks, S List info   : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ    : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
