RE: single instance storage retention on mailbox move
Not sure on that one. Although I've done several moves, the SIS really wasn't an issue to be worried about (at least, not enough to stop the projects!). The article you reference refers to Exchange 5.5. There's also a snippit from an Exchange 2000 article that reads: Single instance storage is not maintained if you move a mailbox to a different mailbox store, even if that mailbox store resides within the same storage group. Does moving a mailbox via ADUC from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 qualify under this rule? Dunno, as I'd have to test.

RE: single instance storage retention on mailbox move
Yes. SIS is retained with the mailbox move process. It is NOT retained with the exmerge process.

RE: single instance storage retention on mailbox move
Depends on how you move the mail box. If you use MOVE MAILBOX in Exchange admin, then I believe that you do retain SIS, but you lose any mail that was in the user's Deleted Items Retention area of the Information Store. If you use EXMERGE to move the mail, they you loose SIS.
