We went through this last year. We built some new Ex2k3 servers and then
used the ESM to move the mailboxes over night.
This gave us fresh information stores, no white space and helped reduce
mailbox sizes, because the recoverable deleted items dont get moved
across
We had around 4500 mailboxes
Thanks for all of the comments and links. I had not come across the part
about re-homing the mailboxes. This I would not like to do for 1700
mailboxes. The mailstore reorg of mailboxes is already being planned as I
want to get the stores down to about 100 GB each.
