If you're going to migrate calendar you might as well migrate mail.
Outlook requires messages (meaning e-mail) to process calendar meeting
requests.

1.  No.
2.  SMTP, I presume.
3.  Create contacts for all Post.Office users, let Exchange handle all
routing.

Subject: Migrating from Post.Office questions.


Aloha all,

We have a system that has about 50 PCs and 50 Sun boxes. We currently
use Post.Office as out email server. We have Win2k Active Directory as
our PC OS. The PC users use Lookout 2000. I would like to convert to
Exchange 2000 for shared calendar and shared contacts *first*. I would
like to co-exist with Post.Office for email for a while (couple of
months). Eventually, I would like to convert to Exchange for our email
as well. I would like to retain our current email addresses throughout
this whole process.

That's the setup. Here's the questions:

1. During the co-existing period, do I need to convert PSTs to shared
stores?

2. What does Exchange use as a co-existence gateway for Post.Office (I
can't find any info on that).

3. Will the co-existence require me to have separate email addresses - 1
for Exchange and 1 for Post.Office? If so, how difficult is it going to
be to switch the Exchange addresses to the old Post.Office addresses
when the time comes to drop Post.Office?


I hope these questions aren't too vague. I tried to look up these
answers and just can't seem to find any scenarios for such a small
migration.

TIA,
