Ex2007 Upgrade

Mike · Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 15

I have a single Exchange 2000 Server on W2K Server running AD and just about
everything you can imagine. Not sure why the previous admin did this
but...........

I need to get to EX2007 and my plan was to introduce 2 new Windows 2003 DC's
and transfer all the rolls from the 2000 server to the new 2003 DC's.

My question is: Can I introduce EX2007 if I still have a DC that is running
2000? I'm a bit gun shy about demoting it even with the other two 2003 DC's
running.

Thanks

Hi,

It should be possible to install exchange 2007 if you have a minimum 1
global catalog server running windows server 2003 SP1. (But I have heard of
problems because the 2007 installation program tries to contact the 2000
server)
