Hello, Some of the things I've encountered with the faq move, and received no help from the faq or list :-):
-Some Public Folders not fully syncing. I THINK this was because of Trend Scanmail mucking things up. To resolve things I turned off PF Scanning on both source and target , and then dropped a message in every damn PF (source side) that wasn't synced up. You should allow a couple days for the initial sync. I waited over a week, etc... But, things synced up in a couple hours after dropping in messages. In ESM, Server, Store, PF, you can export the PF item count and bring into Excel. -Some mailboxes won't move. Less than 1%. Corrupt messages usually. ISINTEG doesn't fix things. Track down the messages and delete (get creative in how to delete: OWA, IMAP, Virus scanning turned off,...). -A lot of configuration to copy over (store limits, Maintenance times, SMTP, OWA, Monitors, Backups,...) -Blackberry users have been an annoyance. I've just started testing with those users. Not much written up, guess it's just suppose to work. Would be nice if they'd pay for maintenance! Rights at the Sever level for the Blackberry Admin account are very different between the new and old server... The faq, and it's links, covered the rest that I can recall. A DR server move would've been easier and quicker, but we've been doing that since Exchange 3.0, and we were just looking to leave some of the cruft behind.

Slater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 5:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2000 Server Replacement Greetings! I am going to throw out a question, showing my obvious exchange ignorance. We have 4 Exchange Mail Servers in our Organization and we need to replace one of them, as the box is old and slow. This server serves about 100 mailboxes. I am assuming I can build out the new server, install exchange and just move the mailboxes to the new server. The only problem I see with this, is having to reconfigure all of the clients to point to the new server. I would really like to keep the server name the same, but don't think it is possible. Any ideas? Thanks, Jeremy --- Jeremy T.
