All, Have a question pertaining to X400 connectors in a mixed Site. All of the remote Exchange 5.5 Sites have an X400 connector back to the Hub Site. We are now in the process of introducing new Exchange2K servers in each of the existing remote Exhange 5.5 Sites. In the near future all mailboxes will be moved over to the new Exchange2K server, and the Exchange5.5 server will be retired (the X400 bridgehead server in the Hub Site will remain Exchange5.5 until funding is approved for new hardware). I have a few test mailboxes on the Exchange2K servers, and everything seems to work fine. I see the Exchange5.5 X400 connector for the Sites/Routing Groups within System Manager - and options are grayed out - which is expected. My goal is to get the X400 connector over to the Exchange2K server so that the 5.5 server can be eventually retired. I have done 2 different scenarios, once much less work than the other, and both seemed to work - just wondering if one was recommended over the other for whatever reason. My first scenario was to create a new X400 connector on the Exchange2K server back to the Hub, and change the cost on the 5.5 X400 to 100. After confirming message flow over the new connector I deleted the 5.5 connector. Second scenario was to change the MTA transport stack from the 5.5 server's TCP stack to the new 2K server's TCP stack (after I created the TCP/IP X400 Service Transport Stack of course). Once I made this change and replication within the Site/Routing Group took place, the 2K server was the new "owner" of the connector, and all connector options were changeable via System Manager. I hope this makes sense. Any thoughts?
