Thread: Network design involving an new exchange server

    Network design involving an new exchange server

    Current Network scenario



    FS1: Windows 2000 running DNS, and DHCP. It also houses the user home
    directories and Exchange 2000 for about 30 mailboxes, and is also the Domain
    controller

    FS2: Windows 2000 running SQL 2000, but not taxed at all.



    Plan



    Add a new server to replace FS1, upgrade to Exchange 2003, and possibly move
    the user home directories to FS2, or a third server.



    The current domain is the same as the registered public domain which is
    company.org; and I think I should move it to something like company.local.
    So, I believe that I also need to create a new domain and move all network
    resources from company.org, to company.local.



    I need to some guidance as to how to accomplish all of this, or some
    additional direction or suggestions.

    What you're talking about sounds like you want to migrate to a new domain
    altogether.
    Is that possible with your applications and such?

    Yes. The applications are a client server app and exchange services

    If that's the case, then likely it's best to introduce the new forest and
    Exchange server and then migrate the users/mailboxes over.
    Something like ADMT and or PFMIGRATE would be helpful there.

    What if the domain controller is also the exchange server? Can it remain
    this way or should I separate the two . This small network with a low usage
    Exchange server with about 30 mailboxes.

    Are you asking if you could or should create the same architecture in the
    target forest? If so, I can't think of a reason why not for that size of an
    installation. In much larger I can think of reasons, but for 30 workstations
    it would likely be a better use of resources to put Exchange on the DC.
