RE: [ActiveDir] the ADC (yeah, baby!) - Oh Behave!

Title: the ADC (yeah, baby!)

We have (in a lab environment) an Exch5.5 box on an NT4.0 domain, a Win2K DC in Native Mode (nt trusts 2000 and vice versa, an Exch2000server in mixed mode, and an ADC (from the E2000 disk) with a two-way CA between the two Exch servers (5.5 and 2000).   Eventually we will migrate the NT 4 domain to AD and the 5.5 will one day go away but my question is what to do with the user accounts when migrating them from NT to 2000 and still have the 5.5 mailboxes work?   Joe Pelle Systems Administrator Information Technology Valassis / Targeted Print & Media Solutions 35955 Schoolcraft Rd.   Livonia, MI  48150 Tel 734.632.3753      Fax 734.632.6240 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.valassis.com/ This message may have included proprietary or protected information.  This message and the information contained herein are not to be further communicated without my express written consent. -----Original Message----- From: Burns, Clyde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 4:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] the ADC (yeah, baby!) - Oh Behave!   Highly highly highly recommend you go thru your exchange 5.5 user directory with NTDSNoMatch. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q274173 If you get a one to one mapping between exch5.5 accounts and AD users it makes life alot easier.   Of course Im making some assumptions about your setup. (like the fact you have exchange 5.5 in your AD mixed or native mode forest) Give us some more details about your current setup if thats an incorrect assumption.   Clyde Burns -----Original Message----- From: Pelle, Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 4:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] the ADC (yeah, baby!) When creating the ADC to work with E5.5 and AD, what do you elect to do with the accounts the ADC creates?  We're using a migration tool that will migrate users, and having the ADC create disabled users or contacts or enabled users seems like all bad choices (since the migration tool will create these same users WITH sID HISTORY)... All thoughts and suggestions are welcome!  Thanks! Joe
