Server 2003

Upgrading an Exchange 2000 Server cluster to Exchange Server 2003 requires that you upgrade each of the cluster nodes and all Exchange Virtual Servers to Exchange Server 2003

For detailed steps, see How to Upgrade an Exchange 2000 Cluster to Exchange Server 2003

Note:

Before upgrading your Exchange 2000 cluster to Exchange Server

2003, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements necessary for upgrading a cluster node (Table 5) and upgrading an Exchange

Virtual Server (Table 6)

Area Requirements

Permissions  Account must be a member of a

group that has the Exchange Full Administrator role applied at the administrative group level

Cluster resources  No cluster resources can be

running on the node you are upgrading, because Exchange Setup will need to recycle the Cluster service One-node clusters are exempt

 The MSDTC resource must be running on one of the nodes in the cluster

Area Requirements

Exchange 2000 SP3 can be upgraded to Exchange Server 2003 If your servers are running previous versions of Exchange, you must first upgrade to Exchange 2000 SP3

 You must upgrade your cluster nodes one at a time

 The Cluster service must be initialized and running

 If there are more than two nodes, the cluster must be active/passive If there are two nodes or fewer, active/active is allowed

Area Requirements

If running Windows 2000  Windows 2000 SP4 is required

To obtain Windows 2000 SP4, go to the Windows 2000 Service Packs Web site

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Link Id=18353)

Table 6 Requirements for upgrading an Exchange Virtual Server

Permissions  If the Exchange Virtual Server is

the first server to be upgraded in the organization or is the first server

to be upgraded in the domain, the account must be a member of a group that has the Exchange Full Administrator role applied at the organization level

 If the Exchange Virtual Server is not the first server to be upgraded

in the organization or the first Exchange server to be upgraded in the domain, the account only needs

to be a member of a group that has the Exchange Full Administrator role applied at the administrative group level

Area Prerequisites

Cluster resources  The Network Name resource

must be online

 The Physical Disk resources must be online

 The System Attendant resource must be offline

computer running Cluster Administrator must be the same version as the node that owns the Exchange Virtual Server

 You must upgrade your Exchange Virtual Servers one at a time

Migrating an Exchange Server 5.5 Cluster to Exchange Server 2003

The procedures for upgrading your cluster nodes from Exchange

Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server are outside the scope of this

document For information about how to upgrade Exchange Server 5.5 servers to Exchange 2000 Server, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article

316886, "HOW TO: Migrate from Exchange Server 5.5 to

Exchange 2000 Server"

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid=316886)

Upgrading Mixed Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 5.5 Clusters

To upgrade Exchange clusters that contain both Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 5.5 nodes, use the procedures in "Upgrading an Exchange 2000 Server Cluster to Exchange Server 2003" earlier in this topic, in conjunction with the procedures listed in Migrating from

Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003

How to Configure the Private Network in an Exchange Cluster

This topic explains how to configure the private network in an Exchange cluster

Procedure

To configure the private network in an Exchange cluster

1 On a server running Windows 2000: In Control Panel, double-click Network and Dial-up Connections In Network and Dial-up

Connections, right-click <Network Connection Name> (where

Network Connection Name is the name of your private network

connection), and then click Properties

- or -

On a server running Windows Server 2003: In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections In Network Connections, right-double-click

<Network Connection Name> (where Network Connection Name is

the name of your private network connection), and then click

Properties

2 On a server running Windows 2000: In <Network Connection

Name> Properties, on the General tab, under Components checked

are used by this connection, ensure that the Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP) check box is selected

- or -

On a server running Windows Server 2003: In <Network Connection
