I am getting ready to install Exchange 2K3 on Exchange
5.5 site on W2K3 member server.

Should I run the 'setup /forestprep'
and 'setup /domainprep' on the W2K3 DC and then come back
to the member server to run exchange setup?

Where do you run the deployment tools?
Do we run /forestpre /domainprep thru the deployment
tools or just run from exchange CD?

Please help me.

Thank you in advance.

Run the /forest and /domain preps on the schema master, and ust run
them from the Exchange CD. Then install Exchange on the Exchange
server.
Run whatever deployment tools you want on the Exchange Server.

Thanks for the info.

When you say schema master, does it means
my W2K3 DC (will be upgraded from PDC)?

Another question. When I installed E2K3 on E5.5 site,
I assume both E2K3 & E5.5 servers will appear on both
'nt4 e5.5' and 'w2k3 e2k3' machines. Now from the E5.5
machine, move the mailboxes and public folder to E2K3
server. Is that right?
