Exchange 2003 Servers

by drmweaver . Updated 20 years, 11 months ago

Ok, I have a question. I’ve come across a business that started out as follows:

1 Primary Server running Windows 2000 SBS with Exchange 2003
1 Member Server running Windows 2003 with Exchange 2003

Recently a new server was added

1 New Member server running Windows 2003

The W2KSBS server was the primary server for DNS, DHCP and Wins.

Changes have been that the DNS, DHCP and Wins has been moved to the first Windows 2003 Server. All operations, functional, etc.. have also been moved to this server. There is nothing left on the First server except Exchange.

What I see is that the exhanges on both servers are replicating each other. (Yes active directory is on all three servers).

If they wanted to remove the exchange server from the first server, is there anything or any procedures needed to do so?

I’ve shut that computer down for two days, and nothing has gone wrong. It seems to me its just a backup if one server goes down, exhange is always available.

I would like to install this on the new server if that is the case, but would like to know if there are specific instructions in setting this up so that it doesn’t bring down the 2nd servers exchange or mess something up.

Thanks in advance.
