We have a W2k native domain with Exchange 2k, SQL 2k and IIS all on one
server.
We are planning to upgrade that server to a better one.
This new server _will_ have the same name as the old one.
I want to use the Swing method of moving the Exchange Users between servers.
Steps:
Old server X
1. Introduce new server Y, join domain, make it a DC.
2. Install E2k on server Y. Move mailboxes etc. Rehome PF F/B etc
3. Remove the 1st Exchange server from server X. <===== Help here. article
on how.??
4. Transfer all 5 roles etc to Server Yswitch off server X; (demote server X
first ??)
5. Build new server X, join domain, make a DC, change roles to here
6. Install E2k on server X, move every thing back to it. Wait a day.
7. Do step 4.
All software that was on old server X is also installed on server Y and then
back onto new server X.
(E2k, IIS5, SQL2k,)
Anybody do this before. ?
Do you have any comments on this. ?
Are there any documentation available on the correct procedures. ?
TIA
