Hi, That's true if you first setup ADC to replicate all mailboxes and distribution lists to AD. The object that are created by the ADC are disabled user accounts that have rights to the mailboxes on Exchange 5.5 and universal distribution groups if the Exchange DLs are NOT USED for assiging permissions. If a DL in Exchange 5.5 is used to assign permissions then it will be migrated as a universal security group. Universal distribution groups can exist in all W2Kx modes/DFLs and universal security groups can only exist in at least Windows 2000 Native mode/dfl. If you then migrate the NT4 user accounts to AD, NEW user objects will be created. For this you need to merge the accounts with an exchange merging wizard.
TIP: don't enable the "disabled user account" created by the ADC as it will automatically loose access to its corresponding mailbox. I have read somewhere that the msExchMasterAccountsid attribute (that stores the sid of the NT4 user account that has rights to the mailbox) is reset. If you first migrate the users with, lets say ADMT (or some other third party migration tooling), and then setup the ADC, the ADC will match each mailbox to the corresponding migrated user account in AD, The latter is also only true IF each NT4 account ONLY has ONE mailbox assigned. If a NT4 user has more than 1 mailbox (1 user mailbox and several resource mailboxes) than you need to determine the primary user mailbox through the NTDSnomatch utility. If you don't do this (determining the primary mailbox) the matching results could vary. If I remember correctly the E2K ADC matches the mailboxes and the AD accounts through the ALIAS and the E2K3 matches the mailboxes and the AD accounts through the objectSID.

So when you migrate user objects to AD only the FULL NAME FIELD and the DISPLAY NAME field is migrated (the display name, used for the GAL, by default depends on the full name). If you have Exchange 5.5 running AND the FIRST FIELD and LAST NAME field is populated in Exchange AND you use the ADC to connect Exchange 5.5 to AD THEN the FIRST NAME field and the LAST NAME field in AD will be populated by the values in Exchange (incl. the display name) Regards, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janson Anderson Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 21:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADMT migrated users I looked at that.
