Thank you, Al! I will provide an updated outline of our plan based on your suggestions.
One question, though: Does anyone know what ADMT v3 is not capable of migrating in the environment I outlined?On 8/29/06, Al Mulnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Overall, that's pretty good for the plan. If you haven't already seen it, there's a migration cookbook available on Microsoft's website. Some things to pay attention to: name resolution for the clients - it's important :) Trust configurations - if a recent enough version, there are some security components that you'll want to be aware of - specifically quarrantine and sidfiltering. Be sure those are configured appropriately for your environment.Order of migration:Be sure to understand the impacts of the order that you migrate the users. I don't know enough about the versions of Exchange, but it would make sense to move the users after or before you move the mailboxes. All the users or all the mailboxes pretty much. If you try to do both at the same time, it can be difficult to troubleshoot and you'll slow your migration down trying to chase the issues.That leads to expectations:Be sure that nobody expects to stay in the partially-migrated state for very long while you chase down integration issues. Once you start, be prepared to sprint to the finish line. Co-existence sucks. No doubts about that. If you try to continue on with migration and coexistence and new projects and...etc you'll be torn to the winds. Your best bet is to continue to push regardless of the issues once you begin (post pilot of course).Did I mention name resolution? That's important, so I don't mind mentioning it twice.Planning is your friend when it comes to migrations.I imagine that Guido might chime in here. I hear he's done this once or twice. :)

Working on a plan to test moving a user, mailbox, computer, and server into our forest. Plan:
Select test users and computers
Install ADMT
Test user migration via ADMT
Test computer migration via RDP manaully or script (must locate)
Test mailbox migration via Exchange Migration Wizard
Login as user and test services/access
Am I missing anything? Any tips?
