The service account is only needed to run things like the Active Directory Connector and Site Replication Service that actually connect to the old system. When you're done with Exchange 5.5, you no longer need such things.

My colleague is a member of the project team and is in charge of the Exchange migration. She has a couple of questions which I hope you may be able to assist us with. It is intended that there will be a new W2K domain with a 2 way trust to the old NT4 domain in place, the users will be migrated with SID history to the new domain using the ADMT kit. In the lab environment she is finding that when installing a new exchange 2000 site to the old exchange org, it is requiring that the old exchange service account password be entered to add it to the administrative group. Is she right to be worried that this will be a problem when the old domain is removed? Any suggested alternatives? If we should we create a new Exchange Organisation and use Exmerge, are there any solutions to solve the problems of clients who open additional mailboxes, and delegate permissions etc? I hope these questions make some sense! :) Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide, -Glyn _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
