Depends Yes Yes Maybe From: Mitchell Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Migration of Exchange 2003 Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 12:18:29 -0500 Good afternoon, We are in the midst of budgeting for the year 2004. Active Directory is a Security Team directive and if they get their piece done, we will be able to migrate to Exchange 2003. Currently we are using Outlook 98 and Exchange 5.5. We have 4500 mailboxes and will probably grow to 5000 by mid-2004 when we are looking at to convert. How intense is Active Directory from the Security Team's view-point? We are using Novell and NT 4.0. There are approximately 12000 accounts to be converted to AD. Once their piece is in place and our upgrade and migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 starts, how long will it take us to convert these 5000 users. Are their tools out there to help with the migration? Are there things that a eMAIL Administrator has to do for AD? To we have to touch each mailbox and replace distribution lists? I know these plans are a long way down the road, but I want to be positioned to get there with great success. I would really appreciate hearing your struggles from exchange (any flavor) to active directory. Thanks for your time and efforts.
