You said that you have an old domain and a new domain. Was your original
domain NT 4.0? How did you migrate the user accounts to Windows 200X? Did
you use ADMT? Are you running Windows 2000 or 2003?

Do you have the ADC set up? If you came from a separate domain and did not
use ADMT to migrate the user accounts the ADC would have created disabled
user accounts in the new Windows 200X domain. The mail attributes would be
stamped on that disabled account. So if you brought up AD Users and
Computers from the Exchange server you would see an Email Addresses tab and
an Exchange Advanced tab. What accounts are the 5.5 mailboxes associated
with?

There should have been several scenarios in the deployment guide to get from
NT 4.0/Exchange 5.5 to Windows 200X/Exchange 200X.

Sounds like you still have 2 separate domains so it doesn't sound like you
upgraded the NT 4.0 domain to Windows 200X. That would have been one way
to upgrade the domain. The other way would be to use some sort of user
migration tool to migrate the user accounts from the NT 4.0 domain to the
Windows 200X domain.

When you move the mailboxes to the new E2K3 server what NT account are they
associated with? Are they associated with a new NT account created in the
Win2KX domain?

Hope that helps.
