I seldom believe a "fresh start" is worth the extra effort required of end users to deal with it. I believe it's usually easier to delete the legacy junk you don't want to keep, something you should have been doing all along through normal maintenenace.

I plan to bring up AD and EX2000 totally separate of the existing production NT4/Ex5.5 multi-master domain structure (we are slimming down from 8 NT domains to 1 AD Forest w/ 1 domain). I plan so migrate the NT user accounts SID history and mail-enable all the new AD accounts. I then plan to disable the IMC in Ex5.5 and export all the users mailboxes to PST files and re-import them to their new Ex2K mailboxes. The same will be done for all PF that we will carry forward. I am thinking along these lines because I feel that an ADC will import too much old legacy junk that we don't want on the new mail system. Am I missing any gotcha's here? Does what I propose to do sound feasible? Thanks in advance for any an all advice offered.
