Thanks Jim, We do want to collapse all our sites into one AG, but we can only achieve this by using a 2-hop method as Ed has mentioned in a previous post a few weeks back. Install E2K in each site, remove 5.5, switch to native, install E2K into desired AG and move mailboxes from original site.
I started questioning it again when I re-read Tony's article, AND after a discussion I had with Microsoft last week who also indicated that I could simply install my E2K servers in each site, and then 'collapse them' in a single hop. -----Original Message----- From: McBee, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 11 March 2003 5:50 p.m. To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K and E2K RC1 Moving servers between admin groups was something they attempted in the betas but coul dnot make work. Even with Exchange 2000 in native mode, all objects have a legacyExchangeDN associated with them. If I remember correctly, this was the reason that the decided it was going to be too difficult to get working. Like Tony, I don't remember the exact reason, but I'm thinking that was it. I remember doing it a few times in Beta 3 and causing myself a lot of headaches (stores would not mount). If you are hoping to "re-architect" your organization, once you are in native mode you CAN move mailboxes between servers in different admin groups. If this is what you want to accomplish, then perhaps this is the best approach.

Anyone know why this was taken out? I don't think I'm going to enjoy my migration as much as I had hoped. Rgds, Leeann NOTICE - This e-mail is only intended to be read by the named recipient.
