If so, how does it impact Exchange 5.5? Which? Installing the ADC? Depends on how it is configured. I'd allow sufficient time between the installation of the ADC and any plans to upgrade to E2K to make sure the bugs are worked out... If any. > 08. How does upgrading the Exchange Servers to Windows 2000 > impact Exchange 5.5? Didn't effect my Exchange servers, but YMMV. Don't forget to make sure your backup software and such is W2K compatibile. And test it in a lab first... Even if your lab is two workstations you steal from marketing. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
