I have a user who uses SBS 2000.
Their mail is currently picked up from individual ISP mailboxes using the
POP3 connector, but recently, users have stopped receiving mail. Internal

ran backup of exchange, ran eseutil with t and p option ...

Hello, I would like some thoughts on this. I am contemplating moving a
Windows 2000 Small Business Server installation into a virtual machine
under VMware, along with a few other systems. The target physical system
will be a rather souped up piece of hardware, running some kind of ...

Is is possible to add a new member server to a SBS 2000 domain and
have it run Exchange 2003/2007(removing the Exchange 2000 instance)?

we have a sbs 2000 machine that is the Domain Controller(all the 5 FSMO
