There is a specific whitepaper on the process:
 
1) create public folder agreement (which is two way) in ADC.
2) configure permissions and remove bad accounts.
3) set replicas to migrate data
 
Rehoming and removal of 5.5 are covered in the migration docs as well.
In Exchange2000, you can rehome by top level folder and propogate:

Thanks William, we are planning to get rid of 5.5 as soon as we feel like the 2000 Server is running OK.  What is the easiest way to get the public folders moved over?  Right now, we are going into each folder and setting it to replicate to E2k, but then we'll wait until it has replicated and go back in and remove it from E55.  But don't you also then have to set the "home server" for each folder to be the new E2k?  Isn't there a simpler way than going into properties on each folder and doing this?

The requirement of patience can not be underestimated.

 

Use the E2K tools to admin E2K and the 5.5 tools to admin 5.5.

 

If it's single server, single site, minimize co-existence.  Get the mailboxes and public folders moved then free yourself of the ADC and 5.5.

We are in the middle of migrating our single site, single server organization over to Exchange 2000.  We have setup the ADC and run ForestPrep.  Everything seems cool so far.  All accounts seem to be syncing in AD.  We are at the point now where we are going to build the E2k box, join the 5.5 site and start moving mailboxes.  What I'd like to know is what to look out for once users are moved over.  What should we test specifically to make sure that the moved mailboxes work?  I have a few obvious ones in mind, check sending and receiving internet mail, check calendar availability, GAL, sending from E2k to E5.5, etc.  Is there a list of all the things you should test in order to make sure the E2k box is working properly?  What problems have you all run into when moving to E2k?

Thanks,

Tim
