Moving from E2k7 to E2k3
I have a client that needs to move ( don't ask) from E2k7 to E2k3. Could this be as simple as installing E2k3 in the same site as the E2k7 server and moving the mailboxes? Make my day please.

Found it. This is from MsExchangeTeam... Both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 mailboxes can be moved (in either direction) with the Exchange 2007 tools. Exchange 2003 move mailbox cannot be used to move mailboxes to or from Exchange 2007 mailbox server.

RE: Moving from E2k7 to E2k3
Was this a greenfields installation of Exchange 2007? If so, it isn't supported to make that move. For lots of reasons. If they had Exchange 2000/2003 before, and upgraded, and just removed the Exchange 2003 server, off the top of my head, I think that should work. Regards, Michael B.

So if you can/have a 2000/2003 environment installed, it's a brainless procedure from EMC or EMS. We have done it multiple times back and forth from 2000 - 2007.

RE: Moving from E2k7 to E2k3
Each version of Exchange makes modifications to active directory. Each one does it differently. Exchange 2007 uses A/D differently than Exchange 2003 did. It doesn't use some attributes that Exchange 2003 did. When Exchange 2007 was installed, it looked at A/D and determined whether it needed to update A/D, or whether it needed to start from scratch. If it started from scratch, then Exchange 2003 won't install, because: 1) it'll see that the schema versions don't match, and 2) security is wrong. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Moving from E2k7 to E2k3
I don't think exmerge will work for this one. From a 32bit machine with outlook and Exchange Management Shell on it. Something like: get-mailbox -server 2007server | export-mailbox -pstfolderlocation c:\pst You might have to mod the initial get command, but that will pst all your boxes a ton quicker than exmerge will. Definitely do a get-help export-mailbox -full to see all your switches and usage. -troy From: Stephan Barr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 3:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving from E2k7 to E2k3 That's what I figured.
