Thanks, our plan is to do a single Saturday migration, however in light of Murphy I'll probably go ahead and do the connector just as a cma procedure.

If you can migrate in a single hit then you don't need it. -----Original Message----- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 August 2003 12:30 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Upgrading thoughts from the been there done that crowd I have been reading up on the AD connector for exchange and what I need to do etc. However I was wondering if I really need it at all. We are doing a new AD design and trusting back to our 4.0 domain then using the ADMIT tool to migrate users/computers and passwords over to the new domain structure (going from two to one). My thinking today has jumped over to the why do I even need to worry about the connector and upgrading exchange since part of this entire conversion is new exchange hardware anyway. We are going to wait until this fall and go right to Ex2K3 from 5.5 and skip over Ex2K. So here is my thinking, if I leave the old server alone, running on 4.0 in the old domain, then when 2K3 is released and I get the software build a new server in the AD on Win2K3. Wouldn't I be able to join that to the 5.5 organization and move the users over to the new server. Decommission the old server and remove the 4.0 infrastructure? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential to the intended recipient(s).
