Thanks for the info. I'll look into this option. As usual, my mandate is: do it as quickly as possible with no down time. ;-)

Well as stated already you do need to have an AD environment. However you can upgrade your domain to AD, Install the ADC to sync your Exchange 5.5 server with AD. Then install the temporary Exchange 2k server into the same Organization as your Exchange 5.5 system. Move the Mailboxes. Redo you Current server (OS, and Exchange2k with new name or same name) and then move the mailboxes back. We didn't have an NT 4 domain to start with but we did have an exchange 5.5 server in our W2k Domain and this is how I upgraded to Exchange 2k. I didn't do an inplace upgrade because I wasn't sure how well it would work and I felt this was safer.

That's a bummer. The last time I used Exmerge, working with MS, it killed every single attachment in the IS. -----Original Message----- From: Milton R.

Until you upgrade your PDC to Win2k you don't have to worry about Exchange 2k. Exchange will also not install on a workstation. The only way what you want to work to happen would be with Exmerge. The Ed Crowley method will not help you out there. -- Dr. Milton R.

Will "The Ed Crowley Server Move Method" - http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxa.htm work for going from Exchange 5.5 Standard to Exchange 2000 Enterprise? I would like to build a new server and then move the mailboxes and public folders to the new server and then get rid of the old server. My boss seems to think I can create a "temporary" Exchange server on a workstation with an IDE drive, put the existing data there, put new drives in the existing server and rebuild it, and then move the data back to the existing server. I don't see how this could work, but I thought I would see if anyone here has done something similar. I would like to tell him it can't be done. BTW, our domain is currently all NT4. Will this pose any problems for our new Exchange 2000 server?
