Depends on how you move the mail box.

If you use "MOVE MAILBOX" in Exchange admin, then I believe that you do
retain SIS, but you lose any mail that was in the user's "Deleted Items
Retention" area of the Information Store.

If you use EXMERGE to move the mail, they you loose SIS.

Subject: single instance storage retention on mailbox move


Hello,

We're upgrading from Exchange 5.5 to 2000 soon, and I just wanted to check
something with everyone who's done it before.

I'm planning to install a new server and then move the existing mailboxes
across to it.  Is single instance storage retained on the new server for all
the moved mailboxes?  I've already checked on the MS website and the
following article says it will be:

Store Does Not Grow When Moving Users to Another Server (Q175481)

But just wanted to double check with someone who's already done it.

Thanks,
Andrew.
