Have you asked these questions of the mail admins at the new parent company? Certainly if they are requiring you to use their org, they should be able to answer them and their answers would likely be more accurate than ours, particularly if they are a larger company and have done this before.
Carl From: Kevan Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 1:08 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange server 2003 migration to a new Exchange 2003 server in a new organization. Hi Our company has recently merged with another and I need to migrate all our users from our current Exchange 2003 SP2 server to a new Exchange 2003 SP2 server in the Exchange organization of our parent company. All the user accounts in our current domain are to be migrated to a new child domain in the Parent company domain and the new exchange server is in this child domain. We have created a 2 way trust between our Forest and the parent Company Forest and I can move user accounts using the Active Directory Migration Tool. My question is what is the best way to move the user mailboxes and Public Folders?. This migration will probably be done over a number of days so how can I ensure that migrated users can still connect to OWA and use http over RCP. At present the parent company exchange Organization does not use http over RCP. Will I be able to let the users on my new exchange server which is in the parent organization use HTTP over RCP still? The parent company does use OWA and has a front end Exchange Server for this purpose. If I give my migrated users the url for this OWA server will they be able to connect to there mailbox on the new server? It is envisaged that external email will still come in and out of our exchange server directly over our Internet connection and not be routed in via the parent company exchange server. We are connected to the parent company which is in the US via a MPLS connection. Is there anything in particular that I should look out for that may catch me out. Any help and documentation appreciated.
