RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2003 Migration Question

Title: Exchange 2003 Migration Question

Why would you lose e-mails, since both are in the same exchange organization, SMTP and the IMS/MTA should have been able to deliver e-mails to anyone regardless of which server was sent the message based on what version of the MX record the sender used.   -----Original Message----- From: Michael Wassell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2003 Migration Question   I have used the Exchange 2003 Migration Wizard (bundled with the installation), granted that my migration scenario was Exchange 2000 > Exchange 2003, but I don't suppose there would be much difference as far as the IS is concerned.   The only dilemma involved was the period of downtime while the migration was taking place, the emails received destined for user mailboxes after the migration had taken place for that mailbox but before DNS had been updated to reflect the new MX record were lost.  The migration took place on a Saturday afternoon so it was projected to be few if any messages to be lost, but the possibility was there.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kent Maxwell Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 10:19 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2003 Migration Question I know this isn't quite an Active Directory question... I am working on finding a way to migrate private mailboxes and public folders stored in an Exchange 5.5 server to a Exchange 2003 server.  The Exchange Organization is different for both servers.  The user accounts that were associated with the mailboxes in the Exchange 5.5 have been migrated to the new ADS running on Windows 2003 with the SIDHistory intact.  Can any one give me suggestions on what has worked for you to migrate accounts in a situation similar to this?  I am looking for anything...even if it will cost me money.
