RE: Migration of Exchange 2003
Mike: Depending on how paranoid your security team is, moving to AD can be very intense. As other people here have said, read the whitepapers, hire a good consultant or two to help you through this. Build an isolated test bed to test theories on, cause once it goes production, there's no way you can start over. READ anything and everything you can get your hands on to help you understand AD and Exchange 2K. Yes there are tools to help you through the migration from NT 4.0 to AD, from Novell to AD don't know. I have a hair under 4000 users and we are looking at another 4 months to a project that started in CY 2000. Look at the move to AD as a rebuilding your network in place evolution. You start with all the basic services, DNS, PDC/BDC's and move up from there.
