Hi,
I am planning to move my Exchange 5.5 sp4 server from an existing server to a new one. Both the existing server and the new one are W2k with the latest SP. The new one will be in an isolated network so it will have the same computer name and exact configuration just like the existing one.
Is it possible to use the backup software come with W2K to do the backup of the information store and directory of the existing Exchange server and restore them to the new Exchange server?
I have tried the backup and restore and the restore was successful, but when I use Exchange Administrator tool to open the global address list and there isn’t any mail boxes in there as though I never did the restore. It shows nothing just like before I did the restore. Am I missing something.
Any help is very much appreciatd.
