That's just a test lab, right? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 1:12 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Retiring E2K3 server
I have a test lab set up for my E2K3 migration. I've put in one E2K3 server and one 5.5 server, migrated everything from the 5.5 to the E2K3, removed the 5.5 server as per the MS docs. All went well. Now I've added a second E2K3 server and want to remove the first one in order to redeploy the hardware. I've followed almost all the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822931&Product=exch2 003. I'm not clear on something; it says to rehome the connectors; all I have is one SMTP connector, but I don't see an obvious way to rehome it. I set the bridgehead for it to the new server; is that all I have to do? Also, it says to run setup and uninstall E2K3. In 5.5 it was acceptable practice to shut down the services on the 5.5 box for a while and make sure everything worked before removing the server. Is that the same in E2K3? I hate doing something as permanent as an uninstall until I know it will work OK without the server there, but I don't know what will happen if I shut down the first E2K3 server. Uninstall is, I'm sure, cleaner for the org/AD; I'd rather not end up with orphaned stuff in there. Anyone done this yet? ********************** Charlie Kaiser MCSE, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
