We also wish to move all user out of there current containers and set them in the root of the exchange server and use address book views for our GAL(ie the right way) Within Ed's server move method I can use the server to server move and not lose single instance store (according to Microsoft Q white papers) with all email on the old server and retain my 33.2gig database on the new server. As soon as I use Bind view or exmerge to get all the mailboxes out of there containers and into the root I lose single instance store and have a 50gig database on the new server. Does anyone know how to move mailboxes out of their containers and into the root without having to use a .pst and losing single instance storage?
