Why not Move Mailbox? If the server is in the same site, move it, then change the alias. Plus why is the alias that important? If you don't do it this way then you'll be visiting 1000 desktops to update the profiles.

About 25 GB of data, no DL:s CR:s or public folders to consider. Just the mailboxes. Unfortunately we can't use any third party utilities. Can't use move mailbox because the alias needs to be changed on the mailboxes :( Patrick -----Original Message----- From: ext William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 March, 2002 08:33 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving mailboxes from 5.5 to 2000 How much data are we talking about? You can open AD Users and Computers and select: Move Mailbox. Just do a small bunch at a time. You might also consider one of the third party utilities: http://www.aelita.com/products/EMW.htm http://www.netiq.com/products/em/default.asp You also have to consider DL, CR, public folder hierarchy and permissions. ADC needs to be set up correctly. But if you already have the servers set up, you likely already know this stuff.

Any suggestions and warnings about possible pitfalls would be greatly appreciated.
