If you are happy that that you have followed the Q152959 instructions correctly turn it off. Watch what happens. No problems follow Q189286 then uninstall exchange/fdisk/whatever. Problems, turn it back on. Brian
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Bryant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 7 June 2002 8:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 first server shutdown We are going to attempt to shut down the first server in our site, have another server already up. I have moved all mailboxes, replicated public folders and done everything that I found in the MS article Q152959. Can anyone tell me of potential pitfalls they have experienced? I am doing this to get ready to go to AD and Win2k Exchange. I have to shut down the first Exchange server because my predecessor was smart enough to make it a BDC. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. I'm new to the group and will probably provide some laughs asking questions you have seen before. I'll try to limit them. _________________________________________________________________ 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] Important Message: [This transmission or any part of it is intended solely for the named addressee.
