I am testing out a migration for a customer who wants to go from NT 4.0
and Exchange 5.5 to Windows 2003 and Exchange 2000/3. We had already
migrated the domain with no issues and are now working on the Exchange
migration. Here is the setup:
Pre AD:
1 PDC NT 4.0 SP6a
1 BDC NT 4.0 SP6a
1 Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Windows 2000 SP3
AD
2 DC Windows 2003
1 Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Windows 2000 SP3
Client PC
Windows 2000 Professional Outlook 2002
Windows Server 2003 Outlook 2002
When then proceeded to upgrade Exchange 2000 using the in place
method. So we ran DCDIAG and there were no issues. We then installed
the ADC. We ran forestprep and domainprep from the Exchange 2000 CD on
the Exchange server (it would not allow us to run it on the Windows 2003
DCs). We then installed NNTP which is required for Exchange 2000. Then
we did the upgrade. All of this proceeded smoothly.
After the upgrade was complete we tried to open up Outlook with
an exisitng profile. This errored out, so we checked Exchange System
Manager and noticed all of the email boxes had red X's by them. I right
clicked on the accounts and had to 'Reconnect' the mailbox with a user
account. This worked for all but one. The user name for that account
did not show up in the list, even though you can see the name in the AD
Users and Computers.
We then tried to open 2 mailboxes and noticed a few other
things: Distribution lists were missing as well as custom recipients.
Meeting requests did not show up in the calendars until after they were
opened. The biggest thing was the one mailbox I could not reconnect
with a user name had no mail in the inbox. System Manager said it had
17 items total, but I could not see them in Outlook.
Is there anything obvious I missed? Something tells me it has
something to do with the ADC, but I am not sure where to begin. Thanks.
