Re: Exchange 2000 in a domain where another Exchange 2000 already existed

Thanks Leif,

The "old" exchange server was also a domain controller and I was thinking to
try to implement the new one as a member server only.

I did find a solution (though not the best probably) for the problem. I
carried our an update /removeorg on the root dc and re-installed exchange on
the temp server with the same organization name. I did have to delete all
exchange attributes for previous email users and then I used a prf file to
modify configuration on Oulook clients to redirect them. I was thinking that
once I retrieve the backups, I'll implement a new exchange server where all
the mails will be moved and merged back with the older mails (using
exmerge).
