Exchange Server 2003 First Install Question |
|
|
Dear All,
Hello Hope all is well.
I am trying to put my thoughts together & to remember how it all was done or
started with an exchange/windows migration from 2k to 2003.
It was a network with a couple of Exchange 2000 servers running on Windows
2000 systems & with one front-end server (back then running E2k & W2k). The
boss managed to either install FIRST Exchange Server 2003 (might have been an
in-place upgrade of the front-end as a matter of fact) or upgrade the node to
WS2003, actually, the OS front-end server might have remained windows 2000
server.
I believe he did the upgrade of the mail side of it, leaving the front-end
exchange with Windows 2000 server...is this possible????
Since documentation points to upgrade first the front-end server & then the
other regular mailbox exchange systems...
He then might have proceeded to upgrade other mail systems by doing a
mailbox-move method(yes); the windows 2000 server -side of it a bit more
complicated since it meant installing a brand new & first WS2003 DC with a
different name than the first root DC (originally a W2k Server).
Hope it didn't bore you & look forward for your inputs.
TIA
Angelo
