Greetings,

I need to restore a Windows 2000 server that's running
Exchange 5.5 to a totally different server hardware
platform. This Windows 2000 server is a Domain Controller
as well.

What are the ramifications of the hardware platform being
different and What is the best way to accomplish this
task?

Any help will be appreciated !!

Thank You
Joe
