Moving Exchange 2000 to a Server 2003 box

Hello guys...

I am yet to find documetation on moving Exchange 2000 on a Windows 2000 server to a 2003 server. I am not lookign for some 3rd party documentation from a non-MS site, but if the source is trustworthy i will accept that.

Thanks guys,
Adam

Thanks NJcomp, I will definitly use this. But this is for moving a exchange 2000 on a 2k server to exch2k3 on win2k3. I'm not trying to be picky, but i know there are some issues that I should know about (or heard about) when moving Exchange 2k on a 2k server to server 2k3.

just to clear this up...

I want to move Exchange 2000 (running on a Windows 2000 server) to Server 2003 (installed on another server) If you can't find a specific article or document, how about some words of advice from REAL experince doing this..

Thanks again

>One extra comment - Exchange 2000 does not install on Windows 2003. You'll need to migrate to Exchange 2003 on Server 2003

I thought so too, I think it is you can't install Excahnge 2003 on a 2000 server

Oh...sorry...I misunderstood. But Netman66 is right. Exchange 2000 can not run on Windows 2003.

From you document

"Exchange 2000 itself must be installed and run on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer. You cannot install and run Exchange 2000 on a Windows Server 2003-based computer."

I think you need to move to Exchange 2003 if you want to place Exchange on a Windows 2003 server. Now, you can run Exchange 2003 running on a Windows 2003 server in a Windows 2000 domain. This is detailed in the document that I originally linked you to.

You'll have to read that MS link that you keep posted again. In it, it clearly states:

"Exchange 2000 itself must be installed and run on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer. You cannot install and run Exchange 2000 on a Windows Server 2003-based computer."
