Integrating with Exchange 5.5

• Plan well
• Install Exchange 2000 into an Exchange 5.5 site
• Install Exchange 2000 Server on one new server

3
Preparing Exchange 5.5 for Exchange 2000

• Ensure that DNS name resolution is working
  between the Exchange 5.5 servers, and between
  Exchange 5.5 and your Active Directory and
  proposed Exchange 2000 servers

4
Preparing Exchange 5.5 for Exchange 2000 (2)

• Remove invalid characters from the organization
  and/or site display names
• Set permissions so that the Exchange 2000 can be
  installed into the first site
• Identify Exchange 5.5 connectors that have a
  locally scoped address space

5
Preparing Exchange 5.5 for Exchange 2000 (3)

• NTDSNoMatch tool
• Use it to identify multiple mailboxes that are
  mapped to the same Windows NT account
• Use it in custom attribute 10 to resolve
  duplicates

6
Preparing Exchange 5.5 for Exchange 2000 (4)

• Run DS/IS consistency adjust on all servers to
  remove zombie permissions on mailboxes and public
  folders

7
Preparing Your Active Directory

• Install Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 hotfixes
  on all domain controller (DC) and global catalog
  (GC) servers
• Ensure that DNS is working correctly
• Ensure that at least one domain in the forest is
  in native mode

8
Preparing Your Active Directory (2)

• Extend the AD schema with the ADC schema
  extensions (SETUP/SchemaOnly)
• Wait for the schema extensions to replicate to
  the domain where the first instance of the ADC
  service is to be installed

9
Preparing Your Active Directory (3)

• Install the first instance of the ADC service
• Extend the AD schema with the Exchange 2000
  schema extensions by using this command SETUP
  /ForestPrep

10
Preparing Your Active Directory (4)

• Wait for all schema extensions to replicate
  around the entire forest
• Check /DomainPrep prerequisites
• Prepare each Active Directory domain for Exchange
  2000 by using this command SETUP /DomainPrep

11
Preparing Your Active Directory (5)

• Wait for replication of the /DomainPrep data
• Test /DomainPrep policy replication
• Create a two-way Recipient Connection Agreement
  between the AD domain and the first Exchange 5.5
  site that will host an Exchange 2000 server

12
Preparing Your Active Directory (6)

• Ensure that at least one domain in the forest is
  in native mode

13
Preparing Your Active Directory (7)

• Replicate all DLs to a native mode Windows 2000
  domain, so that no permissions are lost for DLs
  for public folders

14
Preparing Your Active Directory (8)

• Install the first instance of the ADC service
• Create the appropriate Connection Agreements for
  Distribution Lists to be replicated to one or
  more native mode domains

15
Preparing Your Active Directory (9)

• Prepare each AD domain for Exchange 2000 by using
  this command SETUP /DomainPrep
• If a domain is not going to host Exchange 2000
  but will have mail-enabled users, DomainPrep
  needs to be run in that domain and a Recipient
  Update Service (RUS) needs to be pointed to this
  domain

16
Preparing Your Active Directory (10)

• Create either one-way or two-way Recipient
  Connection Agreements between the AD domain and
  the other Exchange 5.5 sites in the organization

17
Preparing Your Active Directory (11)

• Create public folder Connection Agreements
  between the AD domain and all sites in the
  Exchange 5.5 organization
• Check that all Connection Agreements have
  replicated

18
Preparing and Installing Exchange 2000

• Install Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
• Use NLTEST on the proposed Exchange 2000 server
  to ensure correct AD and DNS integration

19
Preparing and Installing Exchange 2000 (2)

• Run Setup and install the first Exchange 2000
  server into the Exchange 5.5 site
• Verify that the installation completes
  successfully and check for errors if it does not

20
Preparing and Installing Exchange 2000 (3)

• Start moving users to the new server and/or
  install more Exchange 2000 servers

21

  to ensure correct Active Directory and DNS
  integration

22

• C\nltest /dsgetsite Default-First-Site-Name
• C\nltest /dsgetdcltdomainnamegt
• C\nltest /dclistltdomainnamegt
