How to Run Exchange Server 2003 DomainPrep
DomainPrep creates the groups and permissions necessary for Exchange servers to read and modify user attributes in Active Directory. You must run DomainPrep before installing your first Exchange server in a domain.
Before You Begin
Before you perform the procedure in this topic, consider the following:

• The account you use to run DomainPrep must be a member of the following groups:
• Domain Administrators for the local domain
• Local Machine Administrator
• You must run DomainPrep in the following domains
• The root domain.
• All domains that will contain Exchange 2003 servers.
• All domains that will contain Exchange Server 2003 mailbox-enabled objects (such as users and groups), even if no Exchange servers will be installed in these domains.
• All domains that contain global catalog servers that Exchange directory access components may potentially use.
• All domains that will contain Exchange 2003 users and groups that you will use to manage your Exchange 2003 organization.
• You do not need any Exchange permissions to run DomainPrep
Procedure
To run Exchange 2003 DomainPrep
1. Insert the Exchange CD into your CD-ROM drive. You can run DomainPrep on any computer in the domain.

How to Install Exchange Server 2003
After planning and preparing your Exchange organization, you are ready to run Exchange 2003 Setup. This topic explains how to run Exchange Setup to install Exchange Server 2003.
Before You Begin
To install the first Exchange 2003 server in the forest, you must use an account that has Exchange Full Administrator permissions at the organization level and is a local administrator on the computer. Specifically, you can use the account you designated while running ForestPrep or an account from the group that you designated.
Important:
When you deploy Exchange 2003 servers into multiple domains for the first time, verify that the installation information for the first server you install replicates to all domains before you install the next server. If installation information from the first server has not replicated to all domains, there will be replication collision issues, and that server will lose permissions for the organizational object in Active Directory.
Procedure
To install Exchange Server 2003
1. Log on to the server on which you want to install Exchange. Insert the Exchange Server 2003 CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. On the Start menu, click Run and then type E:\setup\i386\setup, where E is your CD-ROM drive.
3. On the Welcome to the Microsoft Exchange Installation Wizard page, click Next.

How to Install Active Directory Connector
Active Directory Connector (ADC) is used to connect your Exchange 5.5 directory to Active Directory.
Before You Begin

• The account you use to install ADC must be a member of the Enterprise Administrator, Schema Administrator, and Domain Administrator groups. The account must also be a Local Machine Administrator on the local machine.
Procedure
To install Active Directory Connector
1. Insert the Exchange CD into your CD-ROM drive. You can install ADC on any computer in the Windows domain.
2. On the Start menu, click Run, and then type E:\adc\i386\setup, where E is your CD-ROM drive.
3. On the Welcome to the Active Directory Connector Installation Wizard page, click Next.

How to Run Active Directory Connector (ADC) Tools
Active Directory Connector (ADC) Tools are used to lead you through the process of confirming that your Exchange 5.5 directory and mailboxes are ready for migration. ADC Tools are a collection of wizards and utilities that help you set up and configure your connection agreements. The tools also ensure that replication between your Windows NT 4.0 organization and Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 is functioning properly.
Procedure
To run ADC Tools
1. On your ADC server, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click Active Directory Connector.
2. In the console tree, click ADC Tools.
3. Follow the steps indicated in the ADC Tools details pane.
Note:
On the Set Credentials page, click Set Credentials to provide the administrator name and password for each site. Enter the name in the domain\username format.
Note:
On the Site Connections page it is recommended that you choose a two-way connection. One way connections are useful for testing how objects will replicate to Active Directory. However, in a production environment, directory objects should replicate both to and from Active Directory and the Exchange 5.5 directory.
Note:
There is a group named Everyone that is not replicated. Because of this, the ADC Tools will always report at least one warning.
For More Information

How to Run the Public Folder Migration (PFMigrate) Tool
The Microsoft Exchange Public Folder Migration Tool (PFMigrate) is a new tool that enables you to migrate both system folders and public folders to the new server. This topic explains how to run the PFMigrate tool.
For more information about the PFMigrate tool, see the section "Using Microsoft Exchange Public Folder Migration Tool" in Migrating from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003. The PFMigrate tool is a command-line script that administrators can use to create replicas of system folders and of public folders. This tool has been updated in Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). To obtain the PFMigrate tool, use either of the following methods:
• Open the Support\ExDeploy folder on the Exchange Server 2003 CD-ROM.
• Download the tool at Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Tools.
Before You Begin
After you run PFMigrate, only the hierarchy of the system folders and public folders is migrated immediately. You must wait for replication for the contents of the system folders and public folders to be migrated. Depending on the size and number of system and public folders, as well as your network speed, replication could take a considerable amount of time. In some cases, you may need to force synchronization.
To force synchronization
1. Open Exchange System Manager
2. Click Administrative Group, click Site, and then click Folders.
3. Right-click the public folder for which you want to force synchronization.
4. Point to All Tasks and then click Send Content.
Procedure
To run the Public Folder Migration (PFMigrate) Tool
1. In Exchange Server Deployment Tools, on the Welcome to the Exchange Server Deployment Tools page, click Deploy the first Exchange 2003 server.
2. On the Deploy the First Exchange 2003 Server page, in the Follow this process column, click Coexistence with Exchange 5.5.
3. On the Coexistence with Exchange 5.5page, click Phase 3.
4. On the Phase 3. Installing Exchange Server 2003 on the Initial Server page, click Next.
5. On theInstall Exchange 2003 on Additional Servers page, click Next.
6. On the Post-Installation Steps page, under Moving System Folders and Public Folders, click move system folders and public folders, and then follow the steps listed to complete your public folder migration.
