Replacing Exchange 5.5 server with new server

[Sethi, Ali]

Title: What does this failure notice mean?

Hi Everyone,   We have just bought a new server that we want to use to host our one and only Exchange 5.5 server SP4.  I have run several DR tests on our Exchange DR server so I have everything I need to successfully get the Exchange Directory and IS services to start on the new server.  The new server will have the exact same specs, including the computer name as the current exchange server.   I just wanted to confirm something before we begin the move to the new server. Do I need to first remove the current Exchange server from the domain and then add the new server and connect that to the domain?  Im pretty sure I do but just wanted to double check.  Also anything else I should prep for before moving to the new server?   OS = Windows 2000 SP2.   Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm ---- Disclaimer Notice : Note this is a disclaimer ---- List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
