WIndows2000 (AD) upgrade from NT4

[Guest]

Hi All

Just to confirm, I'm not really sure if I'm correct.
I have single NT4 domain, and single Exchange 5.5 running on NT4 member
server.
I want to move to AD, (upgrade PDC) and keep for now mix mode.
Do I need anything for exchange to work? I know it need to be SP3 but
anything else?

Thx

In general, SP3 will be fine. For more info, check this out.

Make sure you back everything up.

You need the Active Directory Connector to be able to update Ex5.5
from AD and vice versa. eg, add users.

Make sure you back everything up.

You need a working Win2000 DNS

-OR-

You need to create a working Win2000 DNS when you upgrade.

Make sure you back everything up.

Did I mention backups? <grin>
