Hi All,
I m moving to a test exchange 2k server to a new exchange 2k server. Will I be somehow able to backup all the settings and configuration information, so that when my new server is ready I can simply copy all the settings to it.This way ican retain every information that i have on my test server.
regards,
santosh.

It depends really, most of the configuration settings for Exchange (e.g. SMTP Connectors, routing groups, and recipient policies) are stored in Active Directory - so if you AD infrastructure for the test system is part of your Lab then you could perform a recovery.
However I doubt that that is the case, personally I would recommend a fresh build in the production environment, and if you wish to migrate mail from the test system use a utility such as ExMerge or the migration tool supplied with Exchange between the two organisations.
