exchange 2003 server moving

Below is an extract from the 70-284 MS training kit. I am totaly confused i
have been told in this newsgroup by an MVP that you can not move a server
once installed to a different administrative group and have also read
elsewhere that you cannot but Microsoft below say you can in both modes.

Subsequent Exchange servers are added to routing groups during the
installation process,and if necessary, you can move servers between routing
groups using Exchange System Manager. The only caveat is that in mixed mode,
you cannot move servers between routing groups that belong to different
administrative groups; you can only move servers between routing groups
within the same administrative group. If you need to move a server to a
routing group that is in a different administrative group, you must first
move the server to the administrative group that contains the target routing
group. Alternatively, you can move the entire routing group from one
administrative group to another. This is a limitation of the default mixed
mode operation, but once you convert to native mode, this limitation is
lifted.

Please post this to microsoft.public.exchange.admin group. You obviously
were unsatisfied with the answers from this group, you may have better luck
in the Exchange group.

plaintive wail of kpg:

The simplest way to answer this question and to understand the answer would
be to download virtual PC or VMWare, setup some virtual exchange servers and
try it and see. Shouldn't cost anything other than some of your time if you
grab the evaluation copies of everything that are out there.

I'm always surprised at "professionals" who STILL have to be asked "Have you
checked (event viewer / syslog)".
