Hi,
We are in need to replace one of our domain controllers located in a branch office soon. It is currently providing DC,DNS,WINS,DHCP and Exchange 2000. We have a machine to use to replace the hardware.
I have installed Windows 2003 server on it and updated with latest service packs.. I have not joined it to the domain yet.
i want it to use the same ip address as the current server..
and move all of the mailboxes over.. This exchange server gets all of its mail from our main server here in our head office.. in other words.. all of emails come into our main exchange 2003 server here and then get filtered down to the other branch offices via a wan link.
Can i setup the majority of items on site here and then take this server out to our branch location and continue with the exchange setup/migration out there.. Are there any articles out there that can help me.
Thanks,
Shari
if any more info is needed please let me know.
