You do have to change the profile on each client. We sent notes to all the
users ahead of time telling them how to do it and it worked pretty well.
You must remove the site and dir repl connectors, so that the mailboxes
you're moving won't already appear in the directory of the site you're
moving to.
We ended up with 4 duplicate SMTP addresses and those users could not get
internet mail since the address was ambiguous, so you should do a directory
export on both sites and make sure you won't end up with duplicates because
there are no alerts on this, you just find out when users complain about
their internet mail. Interesting that they were able to be created since
Exchange won't all you to manually create a duplicate smtp address.
The only reason I can think of to use move server wizard instead of exmerge
is if you're changing email addresses on the mailboxes you're moving. Move
Server Wizard keeps an x.500 entry for the old address so that any replies
to the old address will be sent to the new address.

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.
