The meeting went less than stellar. We were looking to them for recommendations and they couldn’t provide.

For those considering it, have you looked at this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exdeploy2010/default.aspx#Home Very helpful step-by-step guide. Sorry if it has already been mentioned. Unity does not yet support Exchange 2010 (they are hoping to have compatibility available in Unity 8 in Q1 of this year, but that is a guess at this point), but I can tell you that Exchange 2010 UM works quite nicely with Cisco’s Call Manager (or whatever they are calling it today) and is much richer a UM client than Unity is. It might not hurt to mention that to your Cisco sales rep of choice when having the discussion of Unity’s release dates.

that said, has anyone migrated Exchange 2007 UM-enabled mailboxes to 2010 UM-enabled mailboxes?

RE: Exchange 2003 Migration to Exchange 2010
I've done it in a lab, and I'm aware of a fortune 500 company who has done it in the real world. Why do you think it's going to be more painful? The process is pretty direct and well-documented and doesn't have that many steps involved. -Original Message- From: Bill Egan [mailto:william.e...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 5:41 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2003 Migration to Exchange 2010 that said, has anyone migrated Exchange 2007 UM-enabled mailboxes to 2010 UM-enabled mailboxes? My understanding of it at this point is that it is going to be more painful to migrate 2007 UM to 2010 UM than it was migrating off of both Intuity Audix and Cisco Unity to Exchange UM. thoughts and experiences appreciated.

Sorry if it has already been mentioned. Unity does not yet support Exchange 2010 (they are hoping to have compatibility available in Unity 8 in Q1 of this year, but that is a guess at this point), but I can tell you that Exchange 2010 UM works quite nicely with Cisco's Call Manager (or whatever they are calling it today) and is much richer a UM client than Unity is. It might not hurt to mention that to your Cisco sales rep of choice when having the discussion of Unity's release dates.

We were looking to them for recommendations and they couldn't provide. Looks like the project might be postponed for a couple of months until we get some compatibility issues worked out, most important to see if the latest version of Cisco Unity will be support with Exchange 2010. Supposedly they're testing it now and we might hear something by March. -Paul From: Harry Singh [mailto:hbo...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 9:32 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2003 Migration to Exchange 2010 Also curious to know if you guys virtualized any, or all, of the roles ? Whichever direction we go, management is definitely going to virtualize all the roles. On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 10:08 AM, Maglinger, Paul pmaglin...@scvl.com wrote: What a coincidence.
