NB: When you post, put a consise summary of your question in the subject
line, and the full details in the body of your post. Also, include your
version, SP level of Exchange, and any other pertinent details.

First question: what version of Exchange?

Second question: why do you need it to have the same name? You don't need to
do this just so you avoid modifying profiles - if the old server is kept up
and running while the new one is up, and users open their Outlook profiles
once, Outlook will find the new server.

See
http://www.swinc.com/resources/exchange/faq_db.asp?status=questions&faqID=1001&faqname=Exchange%202000&sectionID=1024&sectionName=Exchange%202000%20Move%20Server%20Method

If you really want the same server name, you can do this twice...

We are using Exchange 2003. The reason we want to keep the same name is to
prepare for a disaster if the original Exchange dies.

I remember somebody posted a MS internal procedure to do this (to reset the
computer account of Exchange server, join the new Exchange server to the
domain, modify permission for Exchange objects in AD, restore database and
logs, etc), just can not find it...

Wondering if there are any KBs now...

Thx.

Having a different name shouldn't matter all *that* much, should it? There
are plenty of profile generation utilities if you're concerned that your
Outlook clients won't be able to find the new server....
