Re: Exchange 2003 Hardware Replacement

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



The simplest method, if you do not have any infrastructure or configuration changes to make at the same time (which you shouldn't, as its seldom recommended to make more than one major change/upgrade at the same time); Migrating to a New Exchange 2000/2003 Server by - Swing Migration is the simplest, least error prone I know. However, planning is crucial.

We are replacing our current Exchange 2003 Server/Certificate Authority with a new server.
The current server is running Windows 2000 Server, and is our only exchange server.

The new server will be setup with windows 2003.

My understanding is that to move the Certificate Authority to the new server it must be running the same OS.

So I beleive this is what I need to do:

1. Upgrade the current server to Windows 2003
2. Install Windows 2003 on the new server and follow http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997176(EXCHG.65).aspx to setup the new server with Exchange 2003
3. Follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298138 to setup the certificate authority.

Does this sound correct?

Any issues I may encounter?

Thanks
