We just went through a large mailbox move of over 900 users. I just broke them off by department and did them at night. Took me a week, but it didn't impact any business. I don't know if your situation is such where you could do that but I liked doing it that way. That way you don't even have to worry about them logging on and it's totally seamless. They just open Outlook up in the morning and nothing has changed.

I have seen where users' Outlook sessions are active on an Exchange 5.5 server, and their mailbox is moved to Exchange 2000, the Exchange 5.5 mailbox stays or is recreated. This, of course, causes problems because Exchange 5.5 mail continues to get routed to the old mailbox. It's pretty important to block logons when using a move mailbox migration strategy from 5.5 to 2000.

Matter of fact it will be a few minutes after the move is complete before they regain access to the mailbox... if you're not liking this.. then Ed has the better option... don't let them into the subnet that the exchange boxes are on. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 8:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: how to prevent logon during move mailbox Better to disconnect them from the network on which the clients reside.
