That's another thing I would fix later. When designing your ADC architecture, be aware of problems you might have with connection agreements that replicate Active Directory objects to Exchange 5.5 in containers other than the Recipients container.

The more I was looking at it yesterday after I asked the question, the more I was thinking the same thing. I can see no reason for us to have more than one admin group unless we go an buy another company or four, and that sure doesn't look to be in the cards. I have one other migration question. The admins before me, created a recipient container for each of our sites users. That works, but is messy as you can move the users from RC to RC as needed (they didn't know how to build address book views). I have put off "fixing" this as I don't really have the time to spend exmerging out mailboxes to pst's and then recreating them. Is this something I should try and fix (ie: move all users into one RC) or just migrate in place and then use better tools/features post migration to make the changes? ----------------------- Miles Holt Network Engineer Summit Marketing [EMAIL PROTECTED] 770-303-0426 ----------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 12:32 AM To: Exchange Discussions 1. Not at all; it's probably easier for your migration because everything can be in one administrative group to start. 2. It's very easy to move servers to different routing groups in Exchange 2000 if you want to change the routing topology after upgrading.

I am looking for ideas to correct 1 main shortcoming of our 5.5 Org. We have 5 remote offices connected to our main office in Atlanta via 256k frame relay. We have a Exchange server in Atlanta that runs Atlanta mail and the IMC for all the other servers. Each office has a separate BDC/File server and Exchange 5.5 server. The problem is that the remote servers were not deployed as separate sites, but as servers under our Atlanta site (all 6 servers are in one Exchange site but different physical sites and subnets). I have two questions on this configuration. 1) Is this going to be a problem moving forward to future versions of exchange? 2) If so what would be the best way to fix it, either before the upgrade or post/during the upgrade at each site? Thanks for your insights!
