Title: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 off of a NT 4.5 SBS Server (solution)

Thank you for everyones input.

 

I know I can add another Server to the SBS Domain.

 

Its just a question of whether I can put Exchange on that server and use the security information from the domain to set up the mailboxes on the new Exchange server.

If I can then life will not be to bad.

I will migrate each users mailbox individually to a pst and then import it to there new mailbox on the new exchange server.  Only 30 users to do.

I would do the same with the public Folders export them to a pst and then imprt them to the new server.  I know I will have to  re do the permisions on the Public Folders.

 

If I can not bring up the new exchange server then I will have to migrate everyones mailboxes to pst's on there PC's.

And the public folders to a pst on another server.

Move all the other information off of the SBS Server.

Take it offline.

Promote my BDC to a PDC and then install Exchange on my new Win 2kServer.

Set up all the mailboxes again.

Then go round all the PC's again updating outlook and importing their pst's to the new exchange.

Then import the public Folders,  re do the permisions.

And then finally reinstall NT4 on the old SBS server and bring it back as a BDC for use as a file and print server.

And hopefully that will have done for SBS.

 

Have I missed anything??

 

Kevan

That's interesting.  Microsoft tech support say otherwise.  just add as a member server or as a BDC.

SBS /.........single site single server will NOT commincate with any other XCH server.  hard-coded that way.

Is it not possible to add the server to the organisation and site as another server then use Move Mailbox to the new server?  I've spoken to Microsoft who told me that you can add another Exchange server to the site.

 

Or am I just being naive?

1.  Search Google for "Ed Crowley Server Move Method".  Print it.
2.  Print the MS KB articles Ed mentions.
3.  Carefully, very carefully, perform the move exactly how Ed describes.

After it is done, quietly wonder to yourself what an incredible piece of IT work you just accomplished- and how little it will be appreciated by the organization.

Subject: Moving Exchange 5.5 off of a NT 4.5 SBS Server

Does any one have any experience of moving Exchange 5.5 off of a server
running SBS 4.5 onto another server.

I would like to move it to a Win 2000 server in the same Domain.

I would then like to make the SBS Server into full NT 4 server before
eventually migrating fully to a win 2000 domain.

Currently the SBS Server is only running Exchange and file and print
services.

Thank you in advance for ant help.
