Moving mailboxes from one server to another (a swing method) always works well.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denton, Kevin Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 5:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange server move I have a domain (I'll call it domain A) that I am winding down over the next several months. As part of the process, I plan on shutting down my Exchange servers (Exchange 2000 in a Win2K domain) on March 31. I have a subset of users that will be moving to a separate domain (domain B) when that domain becomes active in June. They will be on a new Exchange 2003 server that will wind up in a Server 2003 native domain at that time. What I would like to do is: 1) Build a new Exchange 2003 server and bring it in to the existing W2K domain. 2) Move the subset of user that will move to domain B to the new Ex2K3 server. 3) On March 31, spin down the old mail servers and point my firewall to the new Exchange server. 4) When domain B is ready, move the 2K3 Exchange server to the new domain, rerun the Exchange install to add the Exchange attributes to AD in domain B, and then remove domain A from service. Any thoughts on this process? Am I missing something? Thanks, Kevin P.
