Im curious not being a real bright... what's the point of the new NT domain? is the NT domain really that messed up? To me it would have to be corrupted or something really bad (never ran it having to do this).
See my server that I got when I got to this Co. was ok but needed to go. So I just Did the Ed server move. But I had stuff I had to bring over. All those domain trust's hurts my brain..Im a real simpleton. Me Id just load up the new server in the Existing NT domain/Exch service account and Do Ed's server move method..(if needed..but doesnt sound it), create all those mailboxes and let them link to existing NT accounts Import PST's.....(maybe I'd use exmerge...OR force youre users to do it..got anyone your dont like?) done... bill -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 2:28 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems How would you go about making it easier for the migration? Is there something I'm missing here? Right now my plan is. 1) Get new server 2) Set up new domain/exchange 3) Set up trust with old domain 4) Export/Import user accounts 5) Move mailboxes 6) Import PST from the clients to the new mailboxes on the server. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mellott, Bill Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 10:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems To create or Not to create a new domain/site/org/etc...that is your call... I was just trying to think of something which might help you quickly get out of a bad setup..judging by what you have written..I am for sure no guru like many of the other people here. But if I had that setup..which to me sounds bad...And I couldn't get my new HW for like 2~3wk's I might do something to make my life simpler in the mean time and set myself up for a easier migration. I try and go by the KISS (keep it simple stupid) pricipal, easier on my brain. "Otherwise it sound like you stated what I was going to do." right..but it sounded to me like the situation might not be able to wait till the new HW was in. just ideas bill -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 1:21 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems So are you saying not to create a new domain?

IF you brought up a new machine let's say in the same site/org..etc configured better or close to what you would like. Then use a combination of Ed's server move method to move any existing data you may want to keep to new machine and then import the PST's into the new mailbox's for each user. might it not save you some headache's and help at least bring the whole thing to a smoother point for migration to your new Hardware etc, when it comes in the door? bill -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 1:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems Server Magic......partition magic wouldn't work on the server.

He had an 18 gig hard drive in there for the server and he ended up dividing it up into 8 2 gig partitions. Makes it wonderful for all the log files there on the C drive. Nothing like TRYING TO TEST the damn server before you put it into production. Oh well he's lucky he's not around cause with all the problems that's cause for me I would go up to him and punch him in the face on sight -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 8:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems Well, it sounds like you have a great opportunity to blow everything away and start scratch.

The old admin set up the domain and didn't know what he was doing. On top of that he set up exchange for public folders yet he has the ISP doing the e-mail and the clients download their mail from the ISP into a PST file on the client. Needless to say he was fired cause he didn't do anything and didn't know what he was doing. Last week on Monday I tried to install service pack 2. It didn't want to go for some reason but since I didn't have a problem for 10 days I didn't think that was related. Other then that I haven't had to make any changed. When I do I keep a log of what I've done. The event logs don't show anything out of the ordinary and it appears as if all the services are working correctly. I don't know what else to check -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Couch, Nate Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 4:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Exchange Problems What has changed in your environment? Things don't "just happen"? There is a reason and usually something changed (a setting, a service pack was added, etc.). What, if anything, do the Event Logs show? What about user permissions (have you checked the permissions on the Calendars)? Can you, as the Administrator get in and do anything? What about the overall performance of your server?
