Moving Mailstores in Exchange 2003

2011-04-20 Thread Todd Lemmiksoo
I am in the process of building a new Exchange 2003 EE box (don't ask). It
will replace our current Exchange 2003 box as we have had problems with the
box. I have read that it possible to move a mailstore from one Exchange
server to another Exchange server instead of doing individual mailbox moves.
Has any one done this or any suggest as to what to watch out for.
This would save a lot of time as I would be moving about 1700 mailboxes in
total from 4 storage groups.

RE: Moving Mailstores in Exchange 2003

2011-04-20 Thread Ellis, John P.
We went through this last year. We built some new Ex2k3 servers and then
used the ESM to move the mailboxes over night.
This gave us fresh information stores, no white space and helped reduce
mailbox sizes, because the recoverable deleted items dont get moved
across

We had around 4500 mailboxes and had very few issues scheduling them out
of hours with much interuption to users.

Re: Moving Mailstores in Exchange 2003

2011-04-20 Thread Todd Lemmiksoo
Thanks for all of the comments and links. I had not come across the part
about re-homing the mailboxes. This I would not like to do for 1700
mailboxes. The mailstore reorg of mailboxes is already being planned as I
want to get the stores down to about 100 GB each.

Re: Exchange mgmt tools stop working after update

2011-04-20 Thread Bill Songstad
I was just about to post the same thing.  I was up all night trying to shut
the server down gracefully after uninstalling the patch.  dw20.exe and
dw20.exe*32 or some such kept eating all my processor power and kept
respawning when I killed them.  Finally set all the stuck exchange services
to disabled and stopped them.  That allowed me to finally shut down the
server.

RE: Exchange mgmt tools stop working after update

2011-04-20 Thread Damien Solodow
Looks like they have fixes out:

In order to resolve this problem:

*   If you never installed MS11-028 or have uninstalled it, you
should install KB979744-v2 from here
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/KB979744/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
?ReleaseId=3993  or here
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.asp
x?DownloadID=27109  and then install MS11-028
*   If you still have MS11-028 installed, and your Exchange
Management tools are currently broken, you should install KB979744-v2
from here
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/KB979744/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
?ReleaseId=3993  or here
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.asp
x?DownloadID=27109 

Any of the above should resolve the problem with Exchange Management
tools not running. Relevant KB articles are being updated.

Yeah, the label still says Windows 2003 but they have ones on there for
2008. They're labeled as Vista SP2 since they use the same hotfixes.
