The PSTs will remain as they are... They will not be automatically imported into the Exchange store, you will either have to do that manually for each client station, or maintain them as a secondary store.
The easiest way to import the PSTs would be via EXMERGE. Set up the Exchange mailboxes, prime them with a welcome message of some form, and consolidate a copy of the PSTs into a single folder, naming them according to the mailbox alias in Exchange (IOW, if user Joe Blow's alias is JBlow, name his PST jblow.pst (case insensitive)). You can then automate the import via EXMERGE. DEFINITELY read the docs beforehand and plan out what will need to be done. Alternately, each user can import the PST contents themselves. File | Import, once their Exchange profiles are set up and their Exchange mailbox is the primary delivery location. What architecture are you looking at going to? Will your clients be connecting via a WAN link to the external office? Is there anything keeping you from bringing an Exchange server online in your area as a member of the remote Exchange organization (different Site, but same Organization)? -----Original Message----- From: Crossan Hays [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 16:32 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Transition from Cobalt Qube 2 to Exchange 5.5 I have a stupid question because our office will be upgraded from a Cobalt Qube 2 email system to a MS Exchange 5.5 box in another office. My preoccupation deals with the process of including the psts and the archived folders that each computer currently has. Will all of these files become a part of the new accounts on the Exchange box once the connection is made? What will happen to the contacts that are in the psts? I am sure that many of you have done something like this at some point regardless of the email system that the messages came from. I need some ideas to calm my bosses.
