RE: Migrating W2K3 to W2K3 server?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Wayne - I'm running standard edition of W2K3 (SP2?) on the old
serve=
r - and W2K3 R2 standard on the new one - so this should just work OK?

Oh, one other thing - I'm running Exchange 2K3 Server which I'll migrate
ov=
er too - will this affect AD as I know they're tightly linked?

Paul.
