Ed, thanks for your reply. After talking to our local Exchange guru... here is the SIMPLE thing I was doing wrong.
Not using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool that came with Exchange, instead, I was using the tool that came with Windows 2000! If I use the correct one, I DO get the Move Mailbox as a choice under "Exchange Tasks." Now that my lab appears setup properly, I have to see if I can make the mailbox move work from a script or program. He also mentioned that I may need to be in Native Active Directory mode for it to work. Right now, the setup is in mixed mode because there is still a Windows NT server in the picture.
