Hi all,
I have 2 DCs running Windows 2003 in Windows 2000 native mode, on one of
them there is Exchange 2003 SP2. Not reccomended configuration, but working.
I need to migrate them into 3 new servers, new AD domain, 2DCs, 3rd will be
member server running Exchange 2003.
Around 200 user accounts (with mailboxes), similar number of PCs. Some users
have home directories.

What are possibilites to migrate old configuration into new one? All needs
to be done within 48 hrs, possibly without much interruption for users.

Thanks for any input.

Chris
 
Hello Chris,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, because the configuration is not recommended, we cannot
make sure what happen during the migration. What is the not recommended
configuration?

Thanks & Regards,

It is not reccomended to run Exchange 2003 on Domain Controller - and this
is my case. One of the reasons for this migration is to move exchange to
member server.

Hello Chris,

Actually, this is not a recommended configuration. For Exchange Server
migration, you may use Exchange Migration Wizard.
