Good Morning All! I need some help on "How to Migrate" an Exchange 5.5 server running on NT4 to a new computer running 2003 server and Exchange 2003. This only a one Domain network and it is running AD on a Windows 2000 network. If someone and can tell me all the steps neccessary to have a successful exchange migration or point me to the right direction. I appreciate all the help and someday I'll return the favor. Thank You, SD

Hello, I'm glad we are not the last one to migratie from exchange 5.5. A few months ago we did this migration in our testlabo by following the free Microsoft-book `Exchange Server 2003 Deployment Guide?.especially Chapter 4 `Migrating from Exchange Server 5.5?. We encounterd almost no problems. I think this chapter will be a great help. Ivo

Hello,

Migrating from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 is not as hard as you may think. If you don’t have access to the book the previous post recommended, try a Google search on the subject. You’ll be amazed at all the info that is available on the subject. There are many postings with cook book type instructions that will walk you through the process. Best piece of advice (especially if your doing this in a production environment) is to plan, plan and plan! Good planning will make the process painless to both you and your users.

Good luck!
