Re: AD merge with exchange 2007 srv, can ADMT do it?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

ADMT will do user and computer account migration. After that you will need to move the mailboxes with the builtin exchange tools (yeap, in case you did not knew that) and set the environment for coexistence until the migration is complete.
The process too complex to be listed here. Do a search with google for "Exchange cross forest migration" and you will find some documentations. Start building a virtual environment and test the migration steps. It's not an easy project and probably you will need the help of a MS partner.

Our company (AC) was just bought out by T Company and I want to merge
our active directories and exchange 2007 servers

Our goal is to merge the AD, keeping the users experience (profiles,
shares, emails) unchanged as much as possible. Then move the mailboxes
from the AC.local’s exchange 2007 server to the intranet.t.ca ‘s
exchange 2007 server, after which we can repurpose the ac.local mail
server.

I started reading the ADMT v3.1 guide. I feel that I need to have
prior knowledge on all the terms that they use in that book to
understand what I need to do

From what I understand ADMT can take care of the users/workstation
accounts and profiles. I’m confused on what trusts I need and what SID
history or SID filtering I should choose?

How does ADMT handle the exchange 2007 server/mailbox? Do I handle it
like a fileserver and (hope) the mailboxes follow?


This is what our networks look like now:

Source Network AC
Active directory domain: ac.local
AD level: 2000 native
Email domain: ac.ca
Domain controllers: windows 2000, 2003 and 2008
Exchange 2007 [member] server (hub, cas, mailbox)

Target Network T
Active directory domain: intranet.t.ca
AD level: 2000 native
Email domain: T.ca
Domain controllers: windows 2000, 2003
Exchange 2007 [member] server (hub, cas, mailbox)

Thanks
