Ex-2000 ENTERPRISE to Ex-2003 STANDARD |
|
|
Apparently a former systems integrator installed e2k enterprise (from his own
CD) even though our license is for Ex-2000 Standard. We bought software
assurance so now are ready to migrate to Exchange 2003 STANDARD. I'd like to
do an in place upgrade as I do not have a 'spare server.' What is the
easiest way to get Exchange 2003 running on what is now an operational
Exchange 2000 box? Do I have to buy a new server?

Since you can't upgrade from 2000 ent to 2003 standard you need to
swing via something, even if you use two good workstation class
systems for the short term whilst you decomission and rebuild the
original server.
Are you sure your information store is small enough to fit within the
16GB limit on standard? |

Thank you Mark. PRIV1.EDB is 9mb and I could probably trim that some. But my
CEO may want to get enterprise if Microsoft has an upgrade $path$ from 2000
standard to 2003 Enterprise? Thanks for your reply. I'll use a high
powered swing workstation as you suggest.

There is no upgrade path from standard to Enterprise. I found that out the
hard way, even though I have SA for standard, I had to fork out the full
price for Enterprise.
