>Wouldn't naming the replacement server the same name and assigning it >the same IP as the retired server handle that?
I have done both, removed the old server after a robocopy and share reg import, and change it in AD. Its been my experience there are sometimes places in the reg that retain the old server name. At any rate, both methods work with the former being the easiest *if* the old system can be removed or renamed as well. jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
