XADM: How to Move an Exchange Server Cluster Database to Exchange 2000 (281290)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q281290 SUMMARY Because an actual upgrade of an Exchange Server 5.5 cluster
to an Exchange 2000 cluster is not supported, this article describes an
alternative method to move an Exchange Server cluster information store
database to an Exchange 2000 cluster. This is a form of Exchange Disaster
Recovery that can be used to transition directly from Exchange Server to
Exchange 2000 by using the same cluster hardware.
Note The recommended method for moving users from Exchange Server to
Exchange 2000 is the "move-mailbox" method. This method is used to move users
from the original Exchange Server cluster to a new Exchange 2000
cluster.
If additional cluster hardware is not available, another
method would be to use a stand-alone server to temporarily house the mailboxes
while the cluster is being rebuilt as an Exchange 2000 cluster.
