Exchange won't care. The new W2K member server will still be a member of the NT domain though, right? The new server should be the same Exchange sp.
If you don't require the same name, this method tends to be easier: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxa.htm William -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dolphin, Jeff Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 2:03 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Reinstall Exchange to new server...different OS? Hello, We are upgrading our Exchange (5.5sp4) server hardware. Currently it runs on an older Dell with NT4 sp6 and is 1 of 2 BDC's. I would like to re-install to a newer box keeping the same server name but I would like the OS on the new box to be 2k server. Does it matter if the server OS is different as long as the Exchange config (site name,partitions, etc...) are exactly the same as the old box? Or MUST I reinstall to NT4 (sp6 like the original) in order for this to be successful. PS...NT4 domain. No AD. Thanks for any advice you have! _________________________________________________________________ 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]
