Change Exchange Server name help
Hi all,
I've changed company names for my business, and would like to know if it is possible to change the name of the Exchange 2003 server?
I.e. Open the system manager for E2003 and at the top of the left hand tree it says Company1 (Exchange) and I would like to change that to Company2 (Exchange)
Is this possible at all?
If it’s not possible, can I create a new Exchange install on another machine for a totally separate Exchange server and migrate information across?
Many thanks

Did you change it in the end or leave it?

I have left it for the time being, at the moment I am having a few other issues with config etc (such is my minimalist knowledge of Exchange / server 2003 etc) - However I would like to change it in the near future.
The server is only a 'sort of test' machine at home. I mean 'sort of' because whilst its not as important as a corporate Exchange Server it does handle my own personal email for myself and a few friends, so I don't want to co*k it all up :)
My next plan is to remove the now decommissioned old exchange server as I forgot to do it properly during the installation of this new machine - I'm guessing that the machine not being switched on anymore is going to cause issues (it broke yesterday conveniently - power supply I think) So expect more questions shortly lol
You've got to learn somewhere right!!
