rebuild AD and get exchange working

Hi all,

need a bit of help with a situation.

using sbs2000 with AD (about 15 users) and exchange 2000. if i had xmerged
the exchange information and removed my sbs2000 system disk (exchaneg is on
another drive) and then installed a new drive and installed sbs2003 on it,
how much trouble would i have creating AD users again? i cant imagien it
will take that long and i could weed out the permision issues/ group policys
later on..so thats not to bad, but here is my main question, once sbs2003 is
installed and i exmerge all my 2000 data in exchaneg 2003 how would i tell
exchange what AD users use what mailbox so they can have their mail again
...

is such a thing possible?

Thanks if you can help :)

That should work - ExMerge determines the mailbox by the name of the .pst
file that you are importing - just make sure that you rename the files to
the directory name of the mailbox (with a .pst extension of course!)

Related question -- is there a way to save the AD user information to then
import into Exchange 2003 in SBS 2003?

I know I can save mailboxes but I'd like to start over with SBS03 (rather
than upgrade) but I would not be doing a migration (same server). The only
thing I don't know how to backup is the user information.
