Move Server Wizard

2002-02-04 Thread Junk

I'm involved in a project to separate one of our sites from our
organisation.

All user accounts are on our master domain and the remote Exchange server
(NT4sp6a, Exch55sp4) which hosts their mailboxes reside on a resource
domain.

I'm planning on using the Move Server tool provided by Microsoft to separate
their Exchange server (Which has a service account on our domain) to it's
own domain/organisation and create new user accounts for them.

Has anyone tried using the Move Server tool before and if so, have they come
across any 'features' I should be aware of?
I have successfully tested the tool in a test environment, but your
thoughts/comments/warnings would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Neil Raggett

  If 
  you move to a new server you may use the Exchange2000 SP1/Sp2 Migration Wizard 
  instead...As I remember your 5.5 Box has to be on SP3 at 
  least.
  But 
  do some tests (there is no harm in that!). So you can estimate the migration 
  time you'll need. It's not that fast if you have a lot of objects to

What Ricki said is correct - with Exchange 2000 SP1 came a new mailbox
migration wizard.  It is used to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to
Exchange 2000 in DIFFERENT organisations, so go and check it out!

If you have not to many Public Folders you may export and import them
through an outlook client. Make sure you've the owner permissions on every
folder you have to export.
To get/set all the permissions you may use the tools PFINFO and/or PFADMIN.

Tia, nothing is perfect but the migration wizard is a good start...

Title: Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard



FWIW-
I have done a 
number of MSW's and Exmerge migrations andI can't tell you which one is better. My decision is usually 
dependent on other factors: 
*not 
listed in order of importance and certainly not complete*

1) 
What isthetimeline for getting to acommon Org? A short 
timeline would push the MSW option or a 3rd party util (Bindview, NetIQ, or 
Kevin Snook's migration utility??). An open timeline gives you Exmerge as a 
viable choice.
2) 
The size and complexity of Exchange deployments often drives you towards 
onemethod over the other. IE 1 org multiple sites vs. 1 org 1 site. 

3) MSW is faster than Exmerge. I have done a 
complete migration of one site(~900 mailboxes) to another site in a different 
Org in just under 3hours. Not including the rebuild ofits 
directory.
4) Exmerge and other 3rd party utilities 
allow for a "controlled" migration plan. 
5) 
MSW does not export mailbox contents to temp .pst's so there is less of a need 
for large amounts of free disk space.

These 
are just a few off the top of my head and others on the list will probably chime 
in too. As always a good suggestion is to read the whitepaperson 
these utilities.They do a fairly good job on describing what their 
strengths and weaknesses are.

RE: Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard

2001-12-20 Thread Miguel Bosseloo
Title: Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard




The only glitches that the MSW does 
not deal with is PF. So you have to become an owner of all the PF record all 
permissions and export them all to a PST. Also another thing that was messed up 
it left behind the old x400 addresses on the users so we had to go and modify 
each one to reflect a change on the ORG. The last thing that was wrong you are 
going to be going crazy because the contacts that people have are pointing to 
the old x.400 so the users have to resave their contacts. I did this back on 
SP3. Hopefully with SP4 they fixed the address issue with the users. Other than 
that I thought it did an ok job.

RE: Outlook Profile after Move server wizard

2001-11-15 Thread Snook, Kevin S (ITD)

What do you mean by caches the information store?? If you update the
profile in the right places (and that's why you need to use a
program/script), you shouldn't see a problem. There is a small problem with
Contacts displayed as an Address Book which I'm working on but apart from
that, I don't see any problems.

I guess there might be problems with Public Folders if they are not
replicated/instantiated on the new server.

Have you experienced any problems with just updating the profile as opposed
to creating a new one. I have seen a few articles that suggest the profile
caches the information store and can thus cause problems public folders.

Any comments

Yes, you are correct. Simply speaking, when you do a Move Mailbox the DN
does not get changed, only the Home-MDB (and Home-MTA)(before anyone says
anything, yes I know other things get changed but these are the significant
elements for a profile). You might like to check out my website which offers
createprf.exe which has the facility to update a profile from one server to
another.

Hope someone can clear something up. If you use Move server wizard to move a
server out of a site into a new site but in the same organisation, will
Outlook get redirected? My understanding is that it will not Outlook MAPI
only gets redirected to servers in the same site, i.e. it works for move
mailbox. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,

Paul
