Suggestion please:
We have dell server running MS 2000 server and 2000 exchange server And we want to change to a high speed server with 2003 server and 2003 exchange server AND we want to make sure that all the setting of the existing exchange server is intact and also the clients are configured automatically/updated?
-Can replica solve the above purpose.

The best way would be to setup the new server and migrate the users to the new box. As long as you leave to old server up for a short while it will automatically change the user’s outlook settings to point to the new exchange server. This way the users will not see any change other than a brief pause the first time they connect after the new server comes into the farm.

After you have moved the boxes to the new server you can then begin the prep work to retire the old box.

I’ve done this for many customers. It’s not all that difficult.

Good luck
