Exchange 2000 migration Wizard modifies my passwords?!?

Group,

I am migrating an Exchange 5.5 server/NT4 domain to an Exchange 2000/AD
domain and have run into a kind of "showstopper".

All accounts have been moved to the new AD domain and all users are logging
into it.
Now, i have to migrate the mailboxes and i tryed to use the migration wizard
in Exchange 2000.
BUT, when doing so, it modifies the ad users passwords.

If i uncheck the "Create/Modify Mailbox Accounts", then the migration works
well BUT the mailbox LDAP information (firstname, lastname etc) does not get
migrated.

regarding paswords, all the stuff the migration wizard offers is "Use
windows account name for password" or "generate random password". WHY will
the wizard have to modify the password at all? I would like a "dont modify
users passwords on existing accounts"-option.

Are there some kind of registry entry etc that would "skip" the password
modification but still will create the mailbox, copy firstname/lastname etc
from the 5.5 mailbox into the AD.

regards /Peter
