Hi, I hoping that you will be able to give me some guidelines on the replacement of an Exchange 2003 server. We have an Exchange 2003 server that pre-dates everyone in the office, and it appears to have been set up with a few "gotcha's", so after a couple of weeks of trying to unpick the server, we decided to perform a DR Restore, so we took copies of our DC's and VM'ed these. Then on a test network (complete separate from company network), we launched the VM DC's and rebuilt the Exchange Server (following DR procedure), and everything appears to have restored and works all OK. With the apparent success of this, it has now been asked that we switch the problem Exchange server off and replace it with the clean built DR Exchange server, (we also have 1 Front End Server that hooks into the Exchange server, which we have not been able to test) I was wondering if anyone can advise of the necessary steps to take to help the "new" server go in without any problems. Thanks for your time.
