Resource Domain, then. IIRC, you should be able to get away with the following...
1) Create New NT 4 Domain 2) Setup ONE WAY trust to existing Domain, such that the new Domain trusts the old Domains users, but not vice versa unless there is a need to trust user accounts from the Resource Domain. 3) Create Exchange Server in New Domain, add to existing Organization. *This will necessitate using the Service account from the old Domain* 4) Move Mailboxes from old Exchange Server to new Exchange server (Export to PST and run a backup for safety). 5) Look up info in Knowledge Base re: removing the First Exchange Server in an Exchange 5.5 organization if that applies to you. The trust will take care of NT Account to Mailbox authentication. By _moving_ instead of exporting and importing mailboxes, you change the location of the box and update the directory pointers. This will help insure that there is no need to make client side modifications for MAPI clients. -----Original Message----- From: ARAE NETWORKS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 10:26 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to another Domain Thanks for the quick response. They have local mailboxes in your Store? What is the Primary NT Account pointing to? I'm sorry, I just cant picture this in my mind. My goal is to create a seperate NT 4.0 environmnent running parallel to the current with trusts but not bringing over the current users but still giving them access to the email server once that is moved into the other Domain until the new accounts have been setup. -----Original Message----- From: Ropiak Steve - NAO Florence Office IT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 1:16 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to another Domain We have a bunch of users homed in a trusted domain that access our servers.

Steve -----Original Message----- From: ARAE NETWORKS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 1:08 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Moving Exchange 5.5 to another Domain We would like to setup another Domain (NT 4.0) and move the Exchange 5.5 Store to a new Server while still allowing the users from the current NT 4.0 Domain access to their mailboxes via a trust. Can this be done? I have only been succesful moving an Information Store within the same Domain. Once I build a new Exchange Server into the new Domain, even if I import the individual mailboxes, how would the users access the mailboxes? Could you set the primary account to another Domain?
