Subject: advice New Server for an exchange
Hi
My customer has
a NT 4 Server PDC Exchange 5.5
a bdc The Payroll system (accouting stuff)
and is buying a new server (raid, faster etc) for exchange.
My 1st question, would it be a good idea to :
- Install the new server as a member server of the domain
>>> That's what I would do.
- install exchange 5.5 on the new server and joing the existing organisation
>>> That's what I would do.
- move the user mailbox on the new server with the move mailbox method
>>> I would do that too. See FAQ Appendix A.
- make the old exchange server an ordinary PDC only doing validation
>>> Maybe, maybe not. You might consider leaving Exchange on that box and
have it be your IMS server. It's real nice to separate the IMS from your
mailbox server.
Second question
If I want to go to exchange 2000 instead, how would you proceed for that
customer ?
>>> Buy and thoroughly read and understand Tony Redmond's book.
