Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server on top of Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 Server

  1. Default Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server on top of Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 Server

    I am in a situation where I have a Windows 2000 Server with Exchange
    2000 installed and in production. I have been asked to upgrade to
    Windows 2000 Advanced Server (clustering). Can this upgrade take
    place without affecting the Exchange 2000 installation? Can I just do
    an in-place upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server without removing
    Exchange 2000?

    Thanks,

    Doug

    Hi,

    It is not possible to upgrade a running exchange 200x server to a clustered
    exchange server.

    You can upgrade the windows OS, but you can't get exchnage to be clustered
    without installing the cluster on new servers and move the mailboxes etc to
    the clustered exchange server.
