Guest David Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Hi peeps, I will be installing a new exchange server into a 2000 domain which already has an exchange (2000) server in. I've found this migration document on the internet http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Migrating-Exchange2000-Exchange-2003-Hardware.html but my query is doing the adprep on the existing domain controller (2000 server) is that going to cause and future problems or will it be ok in the log run. David
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: Exchange 2003 into an existing 2000 network Hello David, Adprep command will not cause problems. It will just upgrade the schema with new 2003 objects. It will just work or you get an error message or you have to check the logfile for the failure, if it doesn't work. No reboot is required with adprep command.

Guest David Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: Exchange 2003 into an existing 2000 network thought as much, don't know why i asked it really as you do the same thing in an SBS swing migration.

Guest David Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Re: Exchange 2003 into an existing 2000 network No I'm not but if you go an sbs 2000 domain you do a domain prep to put in the 2003 side.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Re: Exchange 2003 into an existing 2000 network Hello David, The adprep is alwys needed to add newer OS DC's to an older version.

If you don't do it, you won't be able to install Exchange 2003. Just be sure to have a backup strategy just in case. -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services

Just be sure to have a backup strategy just in case. > > Regards, > Hank Arnold > Microsoft MVP > Windows Server - Directory Services "[The] Question is really mute"? Or should it be "moot"? moot point (plural moot points) 1.. An issue that is subject to, or open for discussion or debate, and which could only be definitively determined by an assembly of the people. Now that downtown has been rebuilt and business is booming, whether to build more parking spaces has become a moot point. 2.. (US) An issue regarded as potentially debatable, but no longer practically applicable. Although the idea may still be worth debating and exploring academically, and such a discussion may be useful for addressing similar issues in the future, the idea has been rendered irrelevant for the present issue. Until we rebuild downtown, whether we build more parking spaces is a moot point. Source: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moot_point
