Re: Mailbox Migration or Mailbox Move?

New forest means you have to perform a migration. A third-party tool such
as those from Quest or NetIQ would work best. Otherwise, you could use
something like Exmerge, but you're going to have side effects. You'll want
to read up on interorganizational migrations.

Hi All,

I have been tasked to move 300 mailboxes from one exchange server 2003
store to a new exchange server in a new domain. The domains have a
trust relationship between them, recently set up.

Same Forest, same Org I presume.



What is the most common/best practice way of achieving this?

The built in mailbox move wizard.



All comments gratefully received.

Thanks.

Colin.

To clarify, the client in questiuon will be splitting into two new
companies. All users still exist in the original domain.

A new domain in a new forest was created, and an external trust
created. Eventually the trust will have to be terminated.

I'm thinking that all the AD accounts/computers etc need to be moved
to the newly created domain and then migrate the mailboxes.

Can you confirm please?

Thanks.
