I don't remember having any problems. I moved all the mailboxes, them the
public folders, then stopped all Exch services on the 5.5, deleted the 5.5
server from the 2K3 System Manager, and then replicated across the AD. I then
switched Exch to Native Mode, and uninstalled the ADC. Then I deleted the 5.5
Service account from AD. This is maybe where I went wrong...not sure...either
way, somehow AD still has a history of that Service account, because I can
not recreate it.
Thanks,
CB
