Moving Mailboxes from 2003 Legacy Forest to Exchange 2010 Resource Forest

2010-06-15 Thread Chris Pohlschneider
Hello,

 

We are to the point where we need to move mailboxes from legacy 2003
Exchange Forests to a 2010 Resource forest, but looking for some
suggestions in doing so. The trusts have been successfully established
and DNS is working properly between the two forests. I know Exmerge is
still an option for this, but not for sure how well this works with this
type of setup. Plus I think that the user will not get any new e-mails
come through until the PST file has been imported into the new mailbox
on the 2010 server. Also know about the New-MoveRequest cmdlet for EMS,
but not for sure if I need to use the ADMT tool to migrate user
attributes over before the mailbox is moved. I am just confused right
now and looking for some pointers. If anyone has some info about this, I
would appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback.

Just run a one or two test mailboxes. That'll make it pretty clear.
