moving dead exchange 2003 server toward 2007

#120883

Weird situation:

1 dead exchange server 2003 (refuses to load)
1 live exchange server 2007 (not so smart to install it… Probably one of the reasons the old dude will never turn up)

AD data is fine with the new server, but all the mailboxes are “located” on the old server. the nice move mailbox feature will not work, b/c no exchange to get it from.

Copied all the Exchanges files to a new location (old server had some bad blocks, but the file seems fine)

Any idea what next ?

will this article work ?

is there any way to convert the exchange db files to pst (and then import to 2007) without setting him online ?

Dani.
