DAY 5 – REPLICATING SYSTEM AND PUBLIC FOLDERS
Throughout the first four days, we planned our new Exchange 2007 organisation, put the necessary jobs in order, prepared Active Directory, installed our first Exchange 2007 server (CAS server) and got an SSL certificate from a third party authority for our CAS server. We also installed our Hub Transport and Mailbox servers.
In Day 5, i will transfer the necessary System and Public Folders from Exchange 2003 servers to the new Exchange 2007 servers. For this purpose, i will add my new servers as replication partners in addition to the old servers first. After all the replication finishes, i will remove the old servers from the replication team and only Exchange 2007 servers will be left as public and system folder holders.

DAY 4 – INSTALLING HUB AND MAILBOX SERVERS
During the first three days, we planned our new Exchange 2007 organisation, ordered the necessary jobs, prepared Active Directory, installed our first Exchange 2007 server (CAS server) and got an SSL certificate from a third party authority for our CAS server. In Day 4, i wil install Hub Transport and Mailbox servers. First of all, i add the HUB server to Active Directory and enter the name of the HUB server (as i did for CAS server) to the “Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\ Manage Auditing and Security log” setting in Domain Controllers Policy.

EXCHANGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PLANNING
Hi
In this article series, I will try to explain how we can move into an Exchange 2007 organisation from an Exchange 2003 organisation. I prefer to explain all the details and problems that I faced, instead of a regular presentation of installation. I faced lots of problems during the transition and I want to share all these problems and their solutions in this article series. First of all, I will explain the existing Exchange 2003 infrastructure and then talk about the target Exchange 2007 infrastucture. I prefer not to use the redundancy technologies coming with Exchange 2007 to keep the transition simple. The old and the new organisations will be as simple as possible. During the planning and installation phases, Exchange Best Practise Analyzer (ExBPA) will be the biggest helping tool for us. We can see the problems in our existing Exchange infrastructure and also the problems of Active Directory with this little and handy tool. After solving the problems (if any), we will continue to build our new Exchange 2007 organisation step by step. more
