LOUIE Mailbox Server Reload

Last week we successfully upgraded the OS on LOUIEMBOX1 to Windows Server 2008 R2 (From 2008 RTM SP2) as part of the outline to bring automated, native DAG redundancy to LOUIE. This weekend we will be reloading the OS on LOUIEMBOX2 and LOUIEMBOX3. In preparation for the reload we’ve performed the following steps:

· Updated the ExchangeDefender delivery location away from LOUIEMBOX2 to LOUIEMBOX1

· Moved all offline address books generated by LOUIEMBOX2 to LOUIEMBOX1

· Ensured all public folders were replicated between LOUIEMBOX2 and LOUIEMBOX3 to LOUIEMBOX1.

· Moved all users off LOUIEMBOX2 and LOUIEMBOX3 to LOUIEMBOX1

The OS reload will be transparent to users and is expected to be completed by Sunday evening.
