Neil, Here is what the admin who worked on the mgration sent to me. I hope it helps. I don't know if the migration document mentioned is from MS or some other engineer, but here is what we learned.
"The 2003 migration document did not indicate we needed to check this box when creating the connection agreements for each site. The "Replicate Secured objects" checkbox is at the bottom of the Windows tab on the Connection Agreement. Without it, replication of AD objects will not get to 5.5. This will also cause duplicate mailboxes if the user's mailbox was manually created in 5.5 because it wasn't replicating over, then you really have a mess." Regards. Nate -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Doody Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 7:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Repercussions of the active directory connector. Weve had AD setup for a while, I've done a pilot system with ADC which works perfectly and I've got instruction steps in my head which should do exactly what we need. The problem is the size of the organisation and the fact they are retaining there old email address so I have to use ADC to allow me to migrate people over time whilst still maintaining all of the email on a single domain flowing. The setup and migration is easy enough, I've gone through it enough times its just the problems that arise afterwards which somebody has mentioned I am now investigating as I don't want to run into problems after I have migrated people.
