I would like to know if is possible to swap drives from one server to another?
I have two prolient 1600 servers, a PIII 600 & a PII 450 one has a 2sl controller with 9.1 GB hard drives and the other has a 2dh controller with 4.3 GB hard drives. Both are NT 4.0 with SP 6A. I am wanting to put Exchange on a more powerful server and use the server with Exchange on it now for File & print.

Hi Jeff,
I've done it, swapped OS drives, but in a lab and between two computers with identical hardware and it worked fine. You might have to consider drivers for the disk controllers.

Not much but I hope it helps...
