Months to move? How many mailboxes are we talking here?
-----Original Message----- From: Rowell, John (AFIT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 8:32 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware While the Ed Crowley Server Move method is very effective, I would not discount the backup and restore method, where you do the whole move within one day. I've used the Ed Crawley Server Move method and it works fine, but the downside is that it can take months to move the mailboxes, if you have a lot of them, and if they are big. As a result, recently I used the server move method, and had great success, it was finished in one day and was much cleaner. I wouldn't say it's that risky, as long as you know how to back out of it. There are also two types of move, i) using one-line backup & restore, ii) using off-line backup & restore, and I found the latter easier. > -----Original Message----- > From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 25 March 2002 18:14 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware > > > I suggest rebuilding your plan from the ground up. > > Read the FAQ (Link is below) - there is a well developed set > of steps to doing it the right way. > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Roger D.
