Exchange Server 2003 Migration Made Simple
Now that Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is shipping, some companies are likely planning to migrate their Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 5.5 systems to Exchange 2003. No matter whether you plan to migrate from Exchange 2000 or Exchange 5.5, the Exchange 2003 migration process is fairly straightforward. First, you need to understand the deployment and interoperability basics so that you can determine your system's new infrastructure. Then, you need to plan and prepare for your migration. Finally, you can perform the migration.
Exchange 2003 Deployment and Interoperability Basics
Microsoft designed Windows Server 2003 and Exchange 2003 to work together. You can combine different versions of Windows and Exchange. When you're planning your Exchange 2003 / Windows 2003 environment, here are some considerations to keep in mind:
* You can run Exchange 2003 on both Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 Server, but you can't run Exchange 2000 on Windows 2003, primarily because of changes in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. So, if you're planning to migrate to Windows 2003, you should also plan to migrate to Exchange 2003. The only other option is to run Exchange 2000 on a Win2K member server in a Windows 2003 domain.
* You can use only Windows 2003 domain controllers (DCs) or Win2K DCs running Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later for Exchange 2003. At least one of these DCs must be available within the domain in which you install the Exchange 2003 server.
* Exchange 5.5 can operate in legacy Windows environments because it doesn't rely on Active Directory (AD). However, Exchange 5.5 isn't supported on a Windows 2003 server because of changes in IIS 6.0.
* Running Exchange 2000 SP1 on a Win2K server in a Windows 2003 domain requires a hotfix. (Later service pack versions don't require this hotfix.) For more information about the problem and its solution, see the Microsoft articles "XADM: You Cannot Install Exchange 2000 on a Computer That Is Running Windows Server 2003"
