I have an out of the box SBS2011 install which is fully patched and updated.
During SBS2011 installation did not give me the option of putting a .com and has instead setup my domain name with a local extension, i.e.
Someone did a dcpromo and removed Active Directory on a box that's running Exchange 2010 before removing Exchange (why it was also a DC, I have no idea).
My only goal is to salvage the OS install; the server is now a "loaner" Windows Workgroup server (2008 R2 Standard) and has some other apps on it I'd rather not have to reinstall.
I've tried disabling all the Exchange services, but the uninstal
We have a small enviornment, <50 users. Our current envoirnment is Exchange 2003 and our Domain Controller is on a Windows 2003 box.
We plan to replace our DC with a Window 2008 R2 Box and then replace our Exchange box with a Windows Server 2008 R2 box and Exchange 2010.
I have two 2008 R2 servers which should replicate AD. One si production server, second backup. On primary server is also Exchange 2010. There were plans about a year ago to install exchange to backup server to to replicate and serve as backup in case primary server is unavailable.
-----Some info----- 2007 Server has multi roles - CAS/HT/MBX
2010 server has multi roles CAS/HT/MBX
mail is flowing fine from all the mailboxes on the 2010 server (they were all moved from the 2007 server).
I have followed the instructions from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg576862(v=exchg.141).aspx
I have run the script moveallreplicas.ps1, and the script for adding the new serve
I currently have a very simple single server exchange 2003 setup.
I'm planning to add a single exchange 2010 server with all roles, and slowly move people over to it.
Technet and several blogs have plenty of guides to setting this up, but none of them seem to mention at which points in the setup there is downtime.
I've got a new server that I want to use to replace an existing (older generation hardware) server, both of which are hosting Windows 2008 DC + Exchange 2007.
Both machines are currently running side by side, with all the mailboxes moved to the new server, and the MX records moved to the new as well.
We just recently migrated to an Exchange 2010 server. Currently all of the roles and mailboxes are installed on 1 server (we are a small company with less than 100 users). I am wanting to use DAG for replication however it seems most set ups for DAG requires at least 3 or 4 total servers.
I have ben tasked with archiving the contents of an Exchange 2010 on premises server after it has been decommissioned and all its active mailboxes moved to a hosted Exchange 2010 solution.
I have a few options:
set up a secondary LAN, segregated from the active one, at the server's original physical location and archive the Exchange 2010 after its two supporting Windows 2003 servers (AD control
