You only need the MTA Stack to communicate with the Exchange 5.5 world. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 10:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2k3 migration - MTA Stacks wont start
We havent tried to create a mailbox on the new server at this point to test sending and recieving mail as it was assumed the MTA routing stack would be a fairly vital part of the Exchange product? The document that was used as a baseline for the migration process was http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812593 which was followed in order, adding the step of installing the ADC to sync the active directory after the appropriate tests were run with sucessful results. This document pretty much follows the same process as the Exchange 2K3 co-existance with 5.5 wizard on the CD.
