I once heaved a couple of hundred users between two exchange servers (both 5.5 though). I have not used Exmerge with a 5.5 and 2000 combination. How are you planning to link your accounts with your mailboxes, Exchange 2000 is radically different than NT4.0 with Exchange 5.5
What are your objections against ADC? I moved my organization (three different sites) over from NT4.0 with Exchange 5.5 to Windows 2000 with Exchange 2000. I got to know the ADSI editor pretty well after that, but hey it worked in the end ...:-) Sander -----Original Message----- From: Edwards, Aaron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 September 2002 11:47 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ADC vs. Exmerge Not too important. We only have 1 site. If I exmerge, do I not get all the rich Exchange info tacked onto the user accounts?

Not sure how important this is for you. Mmmmm pie, it's nearly lunch time here... Sander -----Original Message----- From: Edwards, Aaron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 September 2002 11:30 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: ADC vs. Exmerge Hi, We have about a 850 mailboxes and a 10 GB Info Store that is Exchange 5.5 SP4. We have seperate OWA 5.5 and IMS servers. We also run Antigen 6.5. We are planning on moving to Exchange 2000. We have a new server that we are going to migrate to. I have read the faqs and many white papers about migrating. From what I've read, the ADC is the recommended way to go to get your mailboxes, public folders, and settings moved over. However, one of our staff has brought up the argument that, in order to have a clean Exchange 2000 server, it is best to not use the ADC. He says that we should exmerge all our mailboxes, export our public folders to pst's, reset up our settings, and exmerge/import everything into the new server. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I just tell him to shut his pie hole?
