That reminds me a couple other things the FAQ didn't go into (e2K):

Currently have one server running Windows 2000 Server with Exchange 2000
Server. On the new server I want to migrate things such as AD, Exchange
mailboxes and public folders from the Windows 2000 box to the Windows 2003
box.
We use Goldmine 5.5 here. In Goldmine, under the File|Synchronize, there is
a 'Synchronize with Outlook' option. We don't use it, but just a quick look
at it and it seems like it should be able to do what you need.
