Hi Leif,

Damn, Thank you a lot. This seems really an easier solution !!

please I need just a few clarification and an order confirmation from you,
please. in resume, task are

Exch55 in NT4 domain - trust - AD 2003 forest/domain

1) ADMT to clone NT4 user to AD
2) ADC to replicate Exch55 account informaiton to AD
3) New Exch2003SRS in AD, join Exch5.5 organization
4) New Exch2003Cluster
- remove Exch 55 internet connector, SMTP connector on Exch2003Cluster
Make sure that mailflow between the 5.5 server and the 2003 server works
before removing the IMC
5) Mailbox move from Exch55 to Exch2003Cluster (mailbox wizard find the
cloned account by sidhistory ? correct?)
AD knows the owner of a mailbox and its location - move mailbox jus´t
changes mailbox location after the move mailbox has been performed.
is it that "simple" ?

Someone told me that after the ADMT, I should migrate the Exch55 server
account from the NT4 domain to the AD,
afterwhat Exch 55 will map automatically the mailboxes to the Cloned
ADC will do that
Account..is that correct or can the Exch55 stay in NT4's domain
all the time?

Hopefully the ADC Connection Agreements will map the correct mailboxes to
the AD accounts - if not it will create contacts. These contacts can then be
merged to the user accounts using the active directory cleanup wizard -
installed somewhere in the exchange server program folder.

About the ADC, any indication I should take care about the CA ?

Let the Exchange installation wizard create these



I can't express enough how helpful your answer was, Thank you a lot, I
would be happy to be able to help you in return
(obviously not on exchange migration knowledge ^^)

Hi,

Install an exchange 2003 server and join the existing domain that is the
best solution in my opinion.

If you install the first exchange 2003 server on low level hardware (this
server should only support the SRS) and then install the 2003 cluster you
can move everything directly to the cluster - no need to move it to the
first server.

When you have removed the 5.5 servers you can then use this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931/en-us to remove the first server
(after removing the SRS component).

Hello


Exch5.5 in a resource domaine account
Futur Exch2003 in a trusted Forest., on a cluster (no SRS)
Same SMTP domain wanted kept
many users accessing many resources mailboxes
resources malboxes bein accessed by many users also.

What is the easies way, please ?

a)
As the exch2003 on CLUSTER can't join the exch5.5 organisation :
Exch5.5 - new exch2003 organization - ADMT - ADC inter-org - Mailboxe
Migration
Outlook profile have to be completely re-created

or

b)
Exch5.5 - New(temporary)Exchange2003 - join Exch55organization
move mailboxes from Exch55-to-TPOExch2003
(second) move mailboxe from TPOExch2003 -> NewClusterExch2003
Coexistence between all 3 servers (progressive migration)
beneficites ? -> all ACL on mailboxes kept, -> automatic outlook profile
change, "simple" Move mialboxe Exchange task..

is solution (b) make-able ? What I miss is some knowledge on the
complete implication of the missing SRS capabilities on the clustered
Exchange...

Anyone having done that before can give me some advices?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

ps: please scuse my english errors
