Hello, We actually did this in production 2000/2001 . Many, many hours of labbing first. Went native in the domain first so PF permissions wouldn't get messed up, It was a simple setup with Single Server / Single Domain. Etc....
Wish we hadn't. Ended up with some strange problems with Lists and some other things. The time spent sorting things out greatly exceeded the amount of extra time doing a "move-user" would've taken. Man, that was a pretty summer too, and I spent it inside. What a waste. I did inplace upgrades from Exchange "3.0" on up without issue. 5.5 ->2K burned me. FWIW: We're at E2K3 with a FE / BE setup the last 6 mo. and happy with it. I liked 5.5 too, lots of spreadsheets and tools for modifying everything, you've got control of your directory instead of freaking AD and every Yahoo admin that can screw it up ... if you can stay at 5.5 that would be good too. :-) Good Luck, Brent -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve B Posted At: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 6:02 AM Posted To: MS Exchange List Conversation: dangers of exchange 5.5 to 2000 inplace upgrade Subject: dangers of exchange 5.5 to 2000 inplace upgrade Exchange 5.5 sp4 running on nt 4 sp6a.
