Hi there,

I am given a task which I believe is gonna be a tedious process. My task is to change all the Exchange Server 5.5 Organisation name from ABC to XYZ.

I have total 40 Exchange 5.5 Enterprise Servers in the region. All
connected using x.400 connectors.

Can someone enlighten me the most efficient way for this migration.
Rgds,

If you remove and reinstall Exchange, make sure you completely remove Exchange by deleting the registry settings before you reinstall. The organization name will not go away unless you remove the settings from the registry.

If you have to rename your Organization name you can use the Move Server Wizard. You will need to slowly move each server into the new organization.
Here is the MS link to the MSW:
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/downloads/55/MoveServer.asp
Once you get the MSW, read the ENTIRE document, before agreeing to do this. It will be a long process with 40 servers, and you will have some mail interruption between organizations.
I you really dont have to change it DONT, but it can be done.
