Domain consolidation. Two domains, same forest, separate trees not a parent/child. Exch. 2003/W2K3.
Domain1 contains all the email boxes and accounts just those email boxes. That domain is going away. Domain2 now has an exchange server that is a member of that site. Unfortunately, my predecessors gave users accounts in both domains. About 800 of them. So, domain1\John Doe has a mailbox in domain1. Same person has domain2\John Doe for fileservers and the like, but no mailbox. I need to eliminate one account and end up with the mailbox being moved to domain2. Domain2\John Doe has a boatload of complicated groups and permissions in domain2. So deleting the domain2 account would require days of redoing folder/group permissions. So I am thinking about exmerging the mailboxes out, deleting the mailbox and the associated account. Then create mailboxes in domain2, they would have the same name as far as a pst is concerned....then Exmerge the saved email back in? Thoughts, ideas or alternate suggestions welcome. I have room for plenty of downtime for these users since they are teachers and will be gone for 2 months.
