We will be replacing our SBS2003 server with new (very beefy) hardware. We will use Windows 2012R2 as DC and ultimately Exchange 2013 (after installing 2010 first). Even though not recommended, we will install Exchange on the DC, as we have a tight budget and won't require DAG. We have less than 15 users in AD & we plan to change the server name, so we can recreate the AD from scratch, so we realize this is not a true "migration".
If we change the server name on the new server, does this affect the import of Exchange mailboxes into 2010 as long as the usernames & email addresses are exactly the same?
Anything else to be aware of if changing the server name with regards to Exchange?
Thank you!
