There's a benefit if there are any Outlook users still on vacation, or dialing in from home infrequently, or the like, because their clients will continue to automatically switch over to the new server. The big benefit to native mode comes when you have more than one administrative group.

Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 11:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Final stage of Ex2000 Migration My last ex.5.5 server is at the stage of removing it from the site and going purely E2K native mode. Question: Is there any harm in keeping this server in the site - but no public folders/mailboxes, etc. for a short period of time. Reasoning, managers feel that we might have to use it as a fall back... All mailboxes, folders, etc. have been moved to new ex2000 servers and appear to be functioning properly in a FE/BE with NLB setup. The last item remaining on the Ex5.5 server is the default SMTP address points to it. My plan is to change it across the board for the remainder of the company and remove the 5.5 server completely. Management wants to keep it up in case we need to go back. Go back, never go backwards... But, one user complaint about not getting his email, spells failure to out young managers. Any thoughts... Or, follow my plan - no balls - no glory...
