How to enter the organization name when installing SBS2008?
Do anyone know how to enter a different Organization Name for SBS2008 during install. I am trying do so but Windows configures it automatically and gives it a default name "First Organization". I have to change this name the the same Org name of the old server,otherwise I cannot move the mailbox (from Tape bk) to the new server. In this senario I am using only one server that corrently running SBS2003. I will be a fresh install of SBS2008.
I very much appreciate your help in this matter. I am running out of time in order to get this working.

Thanks very much for you comments thus far. Are you sure about the restoring? From what I read, you can restore from a tape if the Org name, admin group and database name is the same. I would not be suprise if I am wrong, I just want to make sure before I go a different route. 65 gig of email to PST would that not take a very long time?

The information you have posted about restoration is correct - except you have missed one crucial factor - the versions must be the same. The Exchange databases are not cross version compatible.

You cannot restore backups from Exchange 2003 in to Exchange 2007. If you want to restore a backup you will have to do so to Exchange 2003 and then extract the information to a PST file.
