>From my previous post:

What NT accounts are the 5.5 mailboxes associated with? When you set up the
ADC what accounts are the mail attributes stamped on?

What NT accounts are the E2K3 mailboxes associated with?

What are the descriptions on the ADC events you are seeing? Just an event
ID an source don't tell me the whole story.

Is the Win2K3 domain in native mode for Windows?

Hope that helps.
