If you can, get the same hardware and versions of NT 4 & Exchange on a test box. Upgrade that box and see what happens. Otherwise, make sure you have a current support contract for your hardware vendor and a credit card handy so you can call Microsoft. Brushing up on your resume couldn't hurt either. Exchange should be OK in this case, but you never know. Every environment is different. That's why testing is a better option. You should probably ask this question on the NT/2000 discussion list. -Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Michel Erdmann Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 7:46 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: in-place upgrade to W2K (NOT Exchange 2000) We are running (and have performed the in-place upgrade) on Compaq hardware. I recall we used a special 'primer' utility from them just before starting the actual upgrade to remove the NT4 specific drivers/agents/software which were incompatible with Windows 2000.

Just an upgrade of the operating system, not exchange 2000 or active directory. Has anyone experienced any problems that I need to know of, prior to the upgrade? As far as I know, it "should" be a seemless upgrade. Stick in the CD-rom and let it do it's thing. I will have to upgrade our raid controllers firmware and nt driver and also export/inport our verisign certificate to the new IIS. That is all I can think of...thanks for any advice before this critical task. _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
