Moving Exchange Server 2000 to New Box
LockedHi All,
I work for a small company and we’ve been using Exchange 2000 for quite awhile on a small server. I’ve recently purchased a new faster box with raid support and would like to move my Exchange server from one box to the other. Since the boxes are configured so differently, I can’t just clone the drive. Can you offer some suggestions on what steps I should take to do this without losing everything I’ve got? The last time we moved mail servers (on Exch. 5.5), the securities got screwed up and we had to start fresh from scratch, a major nightmare that I’d like to avoid if possible. I’m sure there must be an easier way. I know it’s possible to have two servers in the organization and move boxes between them, but I’m not sure if configuring such a set up for such a short period of time would be worth is, since once I move the 50 or so boxes off the server it will be removed from service. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks again…
