Hi !!

I'm working in a company called Arrive where we are
migration from Windows NT on workstations and servers to
Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP clients.

We have a singel domain structure and are running Windows
2003 Active Directory.
Microsoft Active Directory Connector is installed to
replikate information between Exhange 5.5 and Active
Directory
We have 6 Exchange 5.5 Servers in a single site.
We have installed a Exchange 2003 Front-End Server and a
Exchange 2003 3 node cluster. 2 Active nodes and 1 passive.

Everything works well !!!

These days we are migration users from Exchange 5.5 to
2003. We are using script to migrate users and we have
discover that some of the migrated mailboxes cannot
receive mail from mailboxes placed on the Exchange 5.5
servers. The mailboxes seem to work well. The users
receive mail from internet and other senders placed on the
2003 servers, but not on senders placed on Exchange 5.5
servers. The sender on Exchange 5.5 do not get an error
message that the mail is not delivered.

In the script process, we have an input file of users. We
cannot see a pattern here. It is random on which mailbox
this problem occures.
Cdoexm.dll 6.5.6944.0
Cdoex.dll 6.0.4641.0

Here is the script method I use. And I don't get any
errors in the script.

 Set oHomeMDB = CreateObject("CDOEXM.MailBoxStoreDB")
 oHomeMDB.DataSource.Open (sHomeMDB)
 If oHomeMDB.Status Then
   wscript.echo "error opening store"
 else
   Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & sUser)
   oUser.MoveMailbox "LDAP://" & sHomeMDB
   oUser.Setinfo
 
   If Err.Number = 0 then
     wscript.echo "OK"
   else
     wscript.echo "Error"
   end if
end if

 
Can anyone help me out here ?

Kind regards,
