Continuing to use multiple sites (administrative groups) makes sense as
a transitional step because it's easiest to migrate a site to a new
administrative group. Once you're in native mode, you can then migrate
mailboxes between administrative groups, which eases the burden of
consolidating to a smaller number of them.

domai ns.
From a technical perspective then there should be no issues. The FAQ has
detailed instructions on making that change.
I'd still argue that the complexity of adding domains and continuing to
use multiple sites should be reconsidered, however.

Good point Roger. I should have given more information as to
the sites.
The four servers are in fact in four separate sites. So the
following is
more accurate:
Currently in DOMAIN A
SERVER ASITE A
SERVER BSITE B
SERVER CSITE C
SERVER DSITE D
After the move
SERVER ADOMAIN ASITE A
SERVER BDOMAIN BSITE B
SERVER CDOMAIN CSITE C
SERVER DDOMAIN DSITE D

Other than they're creating more domains? Not really.
I'd suggest being very clear on the downsides and
manageability issues of
multiple domain configurations anyway.
The biggest issue, as I see it, depends on whether or not the
boxes are in
the same or different Exchange sites. If they're in the same
site, it will
work but it will be ugly. If its 4 sites, then it should be easy.

Subject: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to
new domains.
One of the Admins in charge of migrating one of our customers over
to E2K had a question regarding moving some existing E5.5 servers to
new domains
prior to migration over to E2K so as to minimize replication.
I can't think
of anything that would indicate this would be a problem, but
I figured I
would run this by the list to be sure.
Scenario -
Current environment - 4 E5.5 servers with SP4 (NT 4.x with
SP6a) running in
one domain (DOMAIN A let's call it).
For the purposes of migration they want to move three servers into
three existing domains. Each of these domains has a two way trust
with DOMAIN A.
In short what will happen is this.
Currently in DOMAIN A
SERVER A
SERVER B
SERVER C
SERVER D
After the move
SERVER A DOMAIN A
SERVER B DOMAIN B
SERVER C DOMAIN C
SERVER D DOMAIN D
Can anyone suggest a reason why this would NOT be a good idea?
Thanks.
