Upgrading Exchange 2000 Server to Exchange Server 2003
• Reasons for updating to Exchange Server 2003:– New features, such as improved remote access– Need to standardize servers to Windows Server 2003
• Upgrade process is not overly complex– Overall infrastructure is shared– Both versions may coexist without connectors
70-284 MCSE Guide to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Administration
5
Upgrading Exchange 2000 Server to Exchange Server 2003 (continued)
• Exchange 2000 Services to remove before upgrade– Key Management Service– Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server– Exchange Chat service – Instant Messaging service– cc: Mail connector– MS Mail connector– Microsoft Mobile Information Server
• Upgrade front-end servers before back-end servers• Other servers may be upgraded in any order
70-284 MCSE Guide to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Administration
6
The Upgrade Process
• First step: backup server is selected for upgrade• Actions following backup:
– Close all Exchange 2000 Server utilities – Run ForestPrep– Run DomainPrep– Ensure server runs at least Exchange 2000 Service
Pack 3– Install Exchange Server 2003– Remove Exchange 2000 Server optimizations from
the registry
70-284 MCSE Guide to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Administration
7
The Upgrade Process (continued)
• Disabling Terminal services closes utilities opened by other administrators
• ForestPrep extends Active Directory schema – Run ForestPrep several days before actual upgrade
• Considerations in running DomainPrep:– Run in root domain if first Exchange 2003 server– Run once in each domain before installation
• Installing actual upgrade of Exchange Server 2003:– Run setup.exe (found in \setup\i386 directory of CD)– Most Exchange 2000 Server settings are carried over– Remove certain Registry settings after upgrade
