I'm also doing my first Move Server Wizard operation next weekend
(single server site to multiserver site). After the server move we will
do a mailbox move of the 40 mailboxes.
I've read in Microsoft's MSW documentation that you need to keep Site
Connectors & DR Connectors in place. Nate, what is the reason for
removing the connectors before the move? I assume, so you don't have a
phantom site in your organization.
My manager doesn't want users to go through the process of clicking
"Check Name" (I said it's only 40 users). Is there a way to change the
registry on each client so the server/mailbox are automatically resolved
on Monday morning?

In fact, the server name is NOT changed. The SITE name is changed
though as the databases are modified to reflect the new SITE location.
I have done a couple of these moves using the Move Server Wizard (same
domain in one case and different domains in the other). If you've read
the Move Server Wizard documentation and follow it's instructions you
should have no problem. The key point, as I see it, is to disconnect
the site/server (Site/X.400 and DR Connectors)you are moving from the
rest of the ORG. As long as the two sites could communicate before the
move you should be good to go.
You are correct about the Outlook/Exchange client side. Each client has
a profile pointing to the original Site/Server address. The only thing
I had to do here was make sure the users knew to do the "Check Name"
routine after the move and replication had occurred. I did encounter one
other problem where users had added Public Folder shortcuts to their
Outlook Bar and after the move they had to have their permissions
re-established, but that was relatively easy to fix.

I thought Ed already replied? I've been on the desktop side of the
house for one server move, 5 years ago, and we are still on the same
(annoying) cluster so I haven't done this on the LAN side at all. We
did NOT have to recreate any profiles except for one bozo who tried to
dial up 2 years later and lo and behold the server was gone by then.
Are you following Ed's Method?

What, not a single person on this list has used the Move Server wizard?
Is Ed on vacation this week? I haven't seen any posts from him; he
usually responds to my inquiries. Lori, Daniel, Missy, Martin, Bueller,
Bueller, Bueller?

Subject: Move Server questions
I will performing my first Move Server Wizard (multi-server site to
multi-server site)in the next month or so and I have a couple questions.
I was reading some TechNet docs and one of them specifically talks about
moving from site to site. The author says that the client won't have to
recreate their profile because the server name isn't changing. But in
my lab tests this was not the case; Outlook was unable to connect and
gave some warning about the mailbox being unavailable. I redid the
Check Name in the profile and then it was fine, but it still required
manual intervention. I read in another doc somewhere that you WOULD
have to recreate the profile. Does anyone know for sure?
Also, the same TechNet article recommends removing the Site and DR
connectors. I don't want to do that because then I would lose all of my
inter-site members in each DL, not to mention lots of NDRs, etc. But I
read another article that said to leave the connectors intact (but
obviously not hosted on the server being moved). My lab tests worked
fine with the connectors left in place. Why would he be recommending to
do that in the first place?
Comments, complaints, suggestions?
Scott.
