When you installed Exchange 2000, I take it you didn't try to join the Exchange 5.5 organization. If you do that, it doesn't ask you for the organization and site names first.
There are plenty of whitepapers and books on this subject, and I highly suggest you read as many of them as you can before you start so you can make informed decisions. The decisions you make at the beginning dramatically affect what you can and cannot do later. Alternatively or additionally hire a good consultant to help you design your infrastructure and migration strategy.

During the installation of Exchange 2000 in the AD domain, I -specify- the org name and site names. Let me go over this step by step and make sure I'm following... Exchange 5.5 is currently installed on a member server in the ABC domain, and I have the following configuration: Org Display Name: ABC Org Directory Name: ABC Site Display Name: BAR Site Directory Name: BAR I can freely change the org and site display names to, say, XYZ and FOO respectively without affecting users or anything else (question 1)? Now I also have a Win2k AD domain called XYZ. I can bring up a Win2k server in the XYZ domain as a member server, install Exchange 2000 and I can tell it that it's the second server in an org and it will make its ORG name XYZ and its Site name FOO? Or do I have to specify a new org of name XYZ and a site of name FOO? (question 2) And if I use this procedure there will be no remnants of either ABC or BAR in AD or Exchange 2k anywhere? Forgive my slowness, I appreciate your taking the time... -Yanek. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Scharff [mailto:chris_scharff@;messageone.com] > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 17:43 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: modprof utility > > > > No, in order to do the move, the servers will need to be > members of the same > Org (and site).
