After looking around for a moving tool (free of course), I only find
commercial ones so, I started playing around with Header.exe and Directory
export/import...
I finally have pin down a working scenario where I can move all the user's
mailbox definition and data without loosing information and with a minimum
of global editing of the .CSV file. Work pretty well in the end.
I should have start with that then lose my time fooling around for a free
tool....
The last problem was the replication delay between sites (I don't have admin
control on some intermediary sites so replications time was a nightmare but,
after moving the directory connector and attach it directly to my site
temporary, I now can force replication in 5 minutes...
Case nearly close... Just 98 mailboxes to go monday night.

Objet: RE: Moving mailbox between sites
If you're talking about Exchange 5.5, there are only a few required fields
for a directory import, such as directory name and home server. Just about
everything is optional, so it's up to you to decide what data you want to
keep and what you want to throw away. If you're exporting and importing,
there's really no reason not to keep just about everything.

Subject: Moving mailbox between sites
I have to move 100 mailboxes between 2 sites. I will use ExMerge 3.71 to
move the data but, I would prefer to not have to create each mailbox in the
new site.
I am working with the Directory export function of the Exch Admin program
and use the Mailbox.csv template. It work ok to export but, too many thing,
specific to the site are exported.
Any informations of what fields should be in the export files (Header.exe
file)? What about all the info relate to the site, ou, etc... Will this be
replace at import time or do we have to exclude thoses info from the import
?
Anybody with a tested header file good for site moving???
Thank you
