What's "MS Migrate"? Never heard of it, nor the "MS migration tool".

I am attempting to create a new forest and move a EX5.5 system to E2K in a entirely new forest & domain. I am ditching the 5.5 system all together, I just need the old mail moved, so I don't believe I need the ADC. But I thought I remember some one saying that you can not move from one forest to another using the MS migration tool. Is this correct? I have not found booo on the MS site. -John Q Jr. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MS Exchange List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "kukar kothari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 7:49 PM Subject: RE: Migration to Exchange 2000 Hello, You need AD deployed first. Good posts in this list's archive on this subject. MS has some good white papers in the technet section and elsewhere: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/default.asp I "labed" our migration many times over many months, and things always went well. The production migration didn't go as well. Primarily, I'm left with a strange Distribution Group problem that I can't nest them or use them to restrict who can send to a Distribution Group. They get stuck in the directory lookup queue with a "Categorizer" error. MS PSS has been looking at it for a month. If I had to do it over again I think I'd setup an entirely new AD domain, E2K environment, and NOT do "in-place" upgrades. It worked great in the lab ... not saying it can't. But I wouldn't do it again. Why do you want to upgrade anyway? We have somewhat of a mandate to be running "new stuff", but for a small organization like ours (single site, 1 domain, < 2,000 users, small tech admin group,...), it sure hasn't lowered our TCO. The loss of Exchange 5.5 Import/Export is a real bummer, among other things.

Can I build and deploy an E2k Server in NT4 domain now and eventually migrate to Windows 2000 AD domain at a later stage. Is it necessary to have Active Directory Installed in order to migrate from Exchange 55 sp4 to E2K. Thanks Kukar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
