That would kill SIS, yes. Using move mailbox also allows Outlook to redirect the profiles rather than having to do that manually. I'm not sure how Exmerge preserves views, filters, favorites, rules, etc.

This would take away the SIS correct? Now to avoid this, instead of using the below method of EXMERGE, we just use the ADC to the old 5.5 site, and the move mailbox command. This keeps SIS. What else does this keep intact that the first way might not? > -----Original Message----- > From: Ron Grant > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:03 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Moving Mailboxes from 5.5 to E2k- quick and dirty? > > Am I making this too simple?
