RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new domai ns.
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. -- Roger D.

RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new domai ns.
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 A SITE A SERVER B SITE B SERVER C SITE C SERVER D SITE D After the move SERVER A DOMAIN ASITE A SERVER B DOMAIN BSITE B SERVER C DOMAIN CSITE C SERVER D DOMAIN DSITE D -Original Message- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 6:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new domai ns.

RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new 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. -- Roger D.

RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new domai ns.
It sounds as though you may have softened your opinion on moving the servers to separate domains prior to transitioning over to E2K. Is this correct, or am I reading too much into your statement below? Nate -- From: Ed Crowley Reply To: Exchange Discussions Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 10:31 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E5.5 - E2K migration question - Moving servers to new domai ns. 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.
