OT: ADMT and Computer Migration Fun....
I have tossed this out on the NT list, but wanted to ask over here just in case any of you had ran into this. I have googled it, and have an open question on the newsgroups as well. I am running ADMT and trying to migrate my computer, and every time I get an access is denied to the a registry key, so ADMT can't get what operating system I am running.

Re: Change Roles before AD migration
Possibly because if you do change the name and don't perform a side-by-side migration (where the other server is still available), outlook will break and wont be able to resolve mailboxes without having to recreate all the outlook profiles. They may also have applications that rely on the name of the Exchange server being a particular name (or at least staying constant).

RE: Change Roles before AD migration
Since you can't change the role of an NT4 server from DC to member server, if you really want to do this you will need to upgrade the OS to W2K, then run DCPROMO to demote it to a member server. However I agree with Ed's comments. It would seem a lot easier to me to build a new Exchange 5.5 server on a W2K platform and move the users onto it if you don't want the Exchange 5.5 server to be a DC. Even better, leave it where it is, implement AD leaving the Exchange 5.5 server as an NT4 BDC, add Exchange 2000 on a new server, move the mailboxes across, switch off the old 5.5 server. -Original Message- From: Bravo, Liliana (CIP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2003 21:15 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Change Roles before AD migration Hi folks, We are planning to migrate AD .

RE: Exchange migration
What are the actual steps to first install E2K. Should the ADC be installed first and then the ForestPrep done to expand the schema or the other way around. Also is there any documents available: Technet etc. which documents in great detail a migration from 5.5 to E2K using an existing Exchange 5.5 organization. Thanks. Ralph H.

RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail
If it is not your organization, then you would need to rely on their IT staff to accomplish this. I don't know of any native Groupwise utilities that will export the contents of a mailbox. Not to mention that they are less than likely to be cooperative in letting her bring the contents of her mailbox to a new company. I know that I would not allow someone here to do that. No telling what kind of sensitive company data there could be in that mailbox. What would you say if someone was leaving your company and wanted to take the contents of their e-mail? - Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner & White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 Original Message- From: Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:57 AM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail I forgot to mention that this Groupwise server is outside our organization.

RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail
I'm not sure that you need a 3rd party tool for calendar items though. When you run the migration, the Groupwise calendar info is migrated as a .sc2 (I think that is Schedule+ format, not sure though) file and imported into the Inbox as the top mail item. With Outlook XP, it is supposed to automatically import that information into the Outlook Calendar. If the Outlook client doesn't automatically import it, you just have to save the attachment, then run the File, import/export from within Outlook. I haven't had any that one of these two processes didn't work on. - Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner & White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 Original Message- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:23 AM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Which 3rd party tool did you use.

RE: Migration of Exchange 2003
Mike: Depending on how paranoid your security team is, moving to AD can be very intense. As other people here have said, read the whitepapers, hire a good consultant or two to help you through this. Build an isolated test bed to test theories on, cause once it goes production, there's no way you can start over. READ anything and everything you can get your hands on to help you understand AD and Exchange 2K. Yes there are tools to help you through the migration from NT 4.0 to AD, from Novell to AD don't know. I have a hair under 4000 users and we are looking at another 4 months to a project that started in CY 2000. Look at the move to AD as a "rebuilding your network in place" evolution. You start with all the basic services, DNS, PDC/BDC's and move up from there.

RE: SRS and E2K Migration questions
Thanks piles Ed, So...a key point I've taken is this: Even when in Native Mode with 5 legacy Sites/AG's, I cannot move Servers between Administration Groups; But still some confusion on 3. If I can't move servers between AG's in mixed or native mode, I would still need a 2nd intermediate server for each Site/AG to move to the final AG. Is that what your suggesting? i.e. for each 5.5 site: 5.5 --> move mbx to new h/w --> E2K in old site --> move mbx to new h/w in new AG -Original Message- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 26 February 2003 9:08 a.m. To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: SRS and E2K Migration questions 1.

Re: Migration Scenario
As Glen mentioned, a proper legacy Exchange DN will help with replyability. With 150 users and how many servers(?) I'm not sure that cleaning up would really be that hard... But that's just me. If I really didn't want PFs to flow over to the new environment, I'd delete them all in the existing one myself. But YMMV.

To see this in action, open a PST file with messages in it from inside the organisation on an outlook client that has no knowledge of your environment (disconnected outlook client, no offline address book etc).

RE: Migration Scenario
It very well could, yes. Messages retain the internal X.500-type addressing, and unless you take care to ensure that these addresses are preserved in the new organization, you will likely have reply problems. Just another of the reasons I cite for a "green field" migration being a burdensome process.

Re: Migration Scenario
The problem with replying to old emails from users in the existing exchange organisation, is that exchange doesn't store the email address of the user who sent the message. Rather, it stores the DN (distinguished name) of the user who sent the message, i.e. /o=some org/ou=something/cn=recipients/cn=theuser , rather than SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is basically what allows you to see the full details of a user when you double click on their name in outlook (it uses the DN to query the directory to get the information).

RE: Migration Scenario
If we export everyone's mail to a PST and re-import onto the new server will this still cause issues with replying to old emails? I know I will lose SIS but I am only moving 150 users total. As far as PF's, they are the main reason I am looking to go this route. I have almost 3000 PF's from the old system that I don't want anywhere near the new system. Half of these are orphaned (the old Mail Admin didn't have a clue) from Ex 5.5 servers that where decommissioned servers from offices being shut down. It is easier, in my opinion, to go the route I am planning then to try and clean up the old junk (which there is an insurmountable amount of). I am just looking for any issues with this scenario that I may be overlooking. The SMTP addresses of each user will remain the same as our domain is still going to be cotelligent.com. So I don't see how this will break the "Reply" on old email that is imported. Again, I thank you all in advance for your help.

RE: Migration tools for GroupWise to E2K
eek.. migration of GroupWise Client to Exchange. Here's what we learned after migrating a mere 70 mailboxes. We eval'd a few of the few GW_2_exchsrs migration utils out there: CompuSven E-Mail Shuttle, Transend Migrator (a.k.a Unity), OpenOne Direct-to-One, MS GW5MIG, Novell GW Plug-in for OL2k. We found all tools failed to capture the contents of all containers within a GWC (we produced a comparative summary chart of the products, available to you on request). We even spoke with two vendors who would perform the migration for us so long as we signed off on the fact that not all mailbox items would convey--seems this troublesome GWC migration business is pretty familiar territory among those in that trade. Eventually, we settled on a manual, desktop migration of the mailboxes. You may say 'ouch' now. We used Transend Migrator which requires Novell GW Plug-in for OL2k to get things started. Then cleaned up failed migrations with good ol' Outlook import/export. The GW site did not institute a mailbox limit policy, so lesjessay it took a long time to migrate a relatively small number of mailboxes. Regardless of the effort, megs of email were abandoned on the GW mail server. To remedy that situation, we simply (a' hem) set user expectations, and allowed them access to their old mailboxes for a few months via GWIA. For 5000 users, I guess I'd resort to the yucky MS GW5MIG and set user expectations. Alternatively, push the GW Plug-in out to all the clients and have them perform their own migration. We provided users the following helpful head's up: Messages * Messages with and without attachments will migrate into Outlook. * Items within a Shared Folder of the owner appear to migrate, but the same items may not migrate for invitees of a Shared Folder. Calendar * Some events may need to be recreated in Outlook. * Recurring appointments will be broken out into individual appointments. Meeting requests will loose the invitees. * Tasks migrate into their own folder and need to be moved into the Tasks folder in Outlook. * Reminder Notes do not appear to migrate. Address Book * Address Books created by the user appear to migrate into Outlook. * "System" and "Shared" address books do not migrate. * Groups within a personal address book will need to be recreated. Folders * The Shared Folder of the owner appears to migrate, but the Shared Folder of invitees does not. * Nested folders (other than Shared) appear to migrate. * Archive folders do not migrate. * Outlook arranges folder hierarchy alphabetically. If a user notices certain items did not migrate, there are two options for potentially retrieving those items. 1. GroupWise mailboxes will remain accessible post-migration through GroupWise Web Access. 2. Contact the HelpDesk to arrange direct access into the mailbox through the GroupWise client. In any case, geezus.. good freakin' luck with your migration.

RE: Migration from 5.5 to 2000 questions
We are in the process of finishing up a migration from 5.5 to E2K and the only place I can think of where the old service account would be a problem is with the ADC and any place else you use it. Just be sure that once you have gone native that you have it removed from every nook and cranny. Check such things as services, Site folders under the Administrative Groups container, etc. Nate Couch EDS Messaging -Original Message- From: Brown Glyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 2:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Migration from 5.5 to 2000 questions Hello All, our organisation is soon to be migrating from Exchange 5.5 on NT4 to Exchange 2000.

The service account is only needed to run things like the Active Directory Connector and Site Replication Service that actually connect to the old system. When you're done with Exchange 5.5, you no longer need such things.
