2 w2k servers, 1 file server(pdc) and 2nd for exchange 5.5

2 w2k servers, 1 file server(pdc) and 2nd for exchange 5.5

Post by mis » Thu, 23 Jan 2003 00:37:57



Presently I have nt4 as pdc and w2k server as member of nt4.  Exch 5.5 is
still intalled on nt4.  I need to move it to 2nd server which is my w2k
server.

Later this week I have to upgrade nt4 with w2k server  as well.  So both
server will have w2k server.

Question:
1.    Do I need active directory in both the server?

2.    Or I can make 2nd one member of 1st one?

3.    I want to install exch 5.5 on 2nd server first so
       user keep getting their email while I mess up with
      nt4.

Please suggestion me the best solution to this problem.

Thanks.

Would be helpfl to know what your end configuration is going to be, i.e. MSX
on server 1 or server 2, and running Exchange 5.5 or Exchange 2000
