I am in the middle of doing this
Mixed mode
The ADC work greats.. About to do the PFMigrate...
I just have to workout my fax software first before the Pfmigrate

Moved NT4sp6-55sp4+ from a ML350 PIII 600/768MB ram/RAID 5 to a ML530 dual
2.4/2GB ram/ RAID 1,1,5 (dual channel) 
The new exch2k3 server in it's own non DC
I did load the Exch tool on the DC so I could get the exchange
attributes(tabs) on the users accounts

As I moved the users mailboxes on key users I personally ran a Exmerge just
in case for each of them
But the mailbox move tool works well
I wanted to use the ADC and NOT exmerge my people since I need to keep the
SIS of exchange
If I had exmerged them (and I did think about doing it that way)
Mail box sizes would have been huge...
I limit my people to 75MB mailboxes and based on my approx user total (~125)
and the standard exchange db size of 16GB
I run presently at about 8~9GB Priv. Had I used exmerge it would have
exceeded the 16GB limit
Since when I exmegred some people prior to the move their mailboxes usually
doubled or more...losing the SIS yah know..

We too are moving to exchange 2003 from 5.5. Have new server plan on exmerge
all accounts out then back in on the 2003 server.
Is there a util I can use to move a couple of hundred public folders that
will keep all attachments intact?

Subject: Moving from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 ... What server to ins
tall Exchange 2003 on ?


Hello Guys,

  We are going to be moving to Exchange 2003 and I have a question on
what server I should install Exchange 2003 on. Currently we have 2
servers (Windows 2003) setup as the domain controllers and recently we
acquired another server so I could migrate to Exchange 2003.  I was
thinking of getting all the applications that are installed on the 2 AD
servers and moving them off to the new server we received, and then
installing Exchange on both AD servers. Do you see a problem with
installing Exchange on the 2 AD Domain controllers? We currently have
about 30 users in exchange, and the AD servers are dual Xeon 2.8 ghz
with a gig of ram. We will probably add
another 15 users in the next 3 years so the growth is not that big.     
 
 Or the other option is to install exchange on the new server, but with
this option I don't have a second server that I can use to install a
secondary exchange server. 

  Thank you for all your help !!!
