I had a similar migration going from sbs4.5 (site1) to sbs2k (site2) Used exmerge and it went like a dream but I din't have public folders and as far as i recall, public folders cannot be done. There are some articles on technet (see sbs2000 upgrade migration white papers) which tell you how to go about this. You'll need a decent amount of disk space as exmerge copies users mailboxes to individual *.pst files which are then imported. (make sure you check the attributes of the pst files - sometimes can put a readonly which must be taken off) Make sure your users clear out as much cr*p out of their mailboxes. I've got some notes if you'd like me to pmail them to you? Rob
-----Original Message----- From: Albert Charron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 October 2002 15:27 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange server migration Hi. I need an advice on a server migration. Here is my situation. I actually have an exchange 2000 server in site B and all my users are in site A. I want to set up a new server with Exchange 2000 Server and move exchange data from site B to site A. After migration, I want to turn off site B's server. Data currently on site B's exchange server is mailboxes and public folder (very large folders). Currently, both sites aren't in the same organisations. My questions are: - What are considerations I might thing about? - What tools do you recommand me to use? - Is there a procedure on how to do the migration? Maybe another question on this. What kind of hardware (CPU speed, memory, Hard drive space, etc) my server must be? I have about 20 users connecting through a mapi client (Outlook 2000). Our corporate databases are stored in public folders and users use them a lot. ____________________________________ Albert Charron Trisotech Inc.
