Hello my pro friends
I may have a lame question, for that I am sorry. I just want to be sure to make right steps, so that I will not do any mistake for our clients.
I have a simple Exchange 2010 server installed. About 30 mailboxes, no special settings. Recently I have bought new HW and I want to move my Exchange to this and switch off old server.
1. I have W2008 on both servers
2. I have Exchange 2010 on both servers
3. Both severs are in same AD and domain controllers
4. AD catalogue has replicated so I have the same computers, users, etc. on both servers
5. Exchange has replicated user mailboxes and both servers see each other in EMC
What I want to do now is to move my mailbox database to the new server. How can I do that ? Can I just copy the file with my database and mount it on the new server ?
Do I have to somehow migrate transaction logs too ?
Do I have to replicate public folders database if we do not use public folders, or is it enough to create new public folders database on the new server and mount it ?
What else do I have to take care of untill I can switch off my old server permanently ?
thank you for your support
J.
