i think it will work , put the real problem not to make 5.5 works on w2k , the real problem is migrating from 5.5 to exchange 2000 because there's a huge difference between the 2 databases.
the best solution is to work 2000 from the first and make it starts right from the begining because u will migrate from this kind of databaseto the active directory database sooner or later ( i made it already , contact me if u need any explenation ) regards to all

Is there a way to transfer certain files over to the new Exchange server to make it a smooth transfer instead of entering all the information again. I don't have the exchange option for backup exec.
