I blanked out after the second line.. He can made the AD FQDN domain name .com no problem and keep the same short NetBIOS domain name. and be all happy. Other wise a consultant would be a great thing. Or maybe a fresh start with ADMT all kinds of things he can do here.

Thus an upgrade from nt4 to win2k server with AD and leaving the ex5 on the nt4 box. His problem is that he wants to know if he can rename the domain to domain.com during this procedure and not affect exchange. -----Original Message----- From: Crista Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 7:22 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Just a quick question DEFINITELY hire a consultant. I've actually been in this situation already and it turned into a 3 day nightmare with Microsoft Tech Support. The most important thing to know is that Microsoft does not recommend an in place upgrade of Exchange 5.5 and it can potentially be the absolute worst thing you do ever in your career. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
