Replacing the Front-End Exchange Server
-
Hi Julie;
I did get the Front-end changed out but with the help of MS Tech Spt ($245.00)
I was on the right track with my notes but had too much riding on the uptime of this server to go at it alone and in my situation; as a 1-man IT department for 60 users in the U.S., 5 in Mexico City, another 5 in Honduras and floating users here and there..... well I'm glad I used their support.
Before I called Microsoft, I had a new server with Server 2003 and Exchange 2003 already installed and had named the new server exactly as the old one was and set it with the same IP address. All of that was correct with the exception of having Exchange pre-installed.
When I called Microsoft, We uninstalled Microsoft Exchange from the new server, brought the old server down, reset the old server's computer account in active directory, brought the new server up (same name and IP as the old server), joined it to the domain, then installed Microsoft Exchange with the desaster recovery switch.
It wasn't difficult and if I had step-by-step instructions in-hand..... it would have been pretty easy to do it alone but since I didn't find the needed docs and I was afraid of missing a crucial step or two and having my exchange mail down for an unnecessarily long period of time,,,,,,, I opted to call Microsoft Techies.
If you are using Outlook Web Access, there may be a few additional steps you need to do in IIS.
Hope this helps;
Dave
