I apologize for chiming in here late, but I have question. Do you NEED to run these tools? What exactly are they for and what do they do? I set up AD at home on one box and installed exchange on that box. Should I have run these before I installed exchange? Should I run them now?
I have never upgraded from NT 4 or an earlier version of exchange. I am assuming these tools are only for if you are migrating, correct?
