style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a Unity 4.0 on Server 2000
with is fully integrated into our AD2003 forest. It was initially a Unity 2.4
install with Exchange 5.5 on-box server. We upgraded to 3.1 and moved the
message store off-box about 3 ˝ years ago when we were still a NT domain. Then 6
months ago we moved to 4.0 and did all the schema changes for Unity to work
correctly in AD. Our Exchange administrator has been working for the last 6
months on decommissioning all the Exchange 5.5 servers in hopes to run in a
native Exchange mode. Last night anxiously made the change and was promptly
alerted that there was still an Exchange 5.5 box (Unity) active and he had to
continue to run in hybrid mode until that was removed.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My question is with the above taken
into consideration, “How do I accomplish the task of decommissioning Unity as a
5.5 server without disrupting operation of the Unity server function?” We have
no failover capabilities to utilize for uptime considerations and have 99.9%
uptime SLAs to meet for a very picky customer. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

between 10PM and 5AM every night so time is not an issue, it is availability. We
have a managed service and we are only allowed to reboot the server or down the
unity services from 10PM Sunday night to 3AM Monday morning. Any input you can
offer would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
