If we are going after mailboxes only, why not just install 5.5 to a member server on the existing network, create a new site and org with the same names as the existing Exch Server, restore an online backup of the info store only to that server, run the Consistency Adjuster, assign an user account to the mailbox in question and open it up from Outlook?

But if we're just going after the mailboxes shouldn't you just be able to bring up a new server (with the same name as the old Exchange server) on a new network, run dcpromo and then install Exchange with the same site and org names. Stop the services, replace the pub and priv and then restart the stores? It's Friday and I'm a little sleepy, so forgive me if I missed something. > -----Original Message----- > From: Leonard Lee [mailto:llee@;binaryinc.com] > Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 3:46 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > > Thanks Chris, > > The information I have found supports your comment.
