OK ... I currently have a backup tape of the exchange database. I am using vesion 5.5 My current exchange server is in its last days(NT 4.0). I will be putting in a new server with win2k and I will load exchange 5.5. Is this possible and if so what are the steps that I should take? All my clients are configured to the old exchange server is it a matter of just changing the name? What should I name my new server? How do i reload the database? As you can see I have a lot of questions I would appreciate anyones help..
