Migrate to new organisation and forest

[Raji Arulambalam]

Hi

Is there any documentation that points to how to move/migrate an existing
Exchange 2003 and Exchange 5.5 organisation in Win2000 AD to a pristine new
exchange 2003 organisation in a new AD forest in Windows 2003.??
Whats involved in this.
Our current Windows 2000 AD appears to have been corupted with orphaned and
phantom sids, dc, dns entries and replication errors. Also unable to demote
dcs in remote sites.
If you know how to fix this would be appreciated. We have tried every thing
suggested in kb articles.
But pointers would be welcome.

Also is there information on disaster recovery of Exchange 2003 where the
windows AD domain is suspect and I want to blow it away and start a fresh.
They are on different machines. Whats required.
Thanks

RajiA

Raji,

From Microsoft's Exchange 2003 site:

As for the corruption of the AD, I'll let some of the experts over in the AD
newsgroups take care of those questions.
