Of course, at this point, I would like to say that MailMover (www.mailsoftware.co.uk) does everything in this article programmatically. It also gets around the issue of updating profiles.

That is the only real solution I have ever seen to move between OU's. It is still no fun. I do not think he mentioned in there, something William has learned the hard way, That the letters DN OU CN and all the like are CASE SENSITIVE. So if you do mess with them MAKE sure you do not change the case. Else ADC and Exchange migrations will be no fun. Not that ADC is ever fun. --Kevinm CHFR, M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond http://www.daughtry.ca/ For Graphics and WebDesign, GO here! -----Original Message----- From: Erik Sojka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 6:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving users between OUs in Exchange 5.5 Wow.
