Hi Jason,

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

Thanks for posting!

It appears that you have 3 questions at present. Regarding the first two questions related to exchange, please open a new post in microsoft.public.exchange.general newsgroup. That newsgroup is primarily for issues involving Exchange, So that the dedicated MS engineer can help you on it in a more efficient manner.

With respect to the third question, Can I assume that you want to migrate file and printer server to Windows 2k3 domain?
Based on my understanding, I recommend you migrate file with FSMT and migrate printer with Print Migrator 3.1.

| | Hi All,
| | We are planning a migration from Exchange 5.5 on Windows NT to Exchange | 2003 on 2003. There are five NT Domains that are bing consolidated to a | single domain and five exchange sites that will remain the same. The new | domains are being installed on new hardware so we are doing a parallel | install and migration (not an in-place).
| | We have read tons of material and came up with the following:
| | 1) Install Windows 2003 with AD.
| 2) Create trust between new domain and NT domain.
| 3) Move DNS and WINS to new servers.
| 4) Use ADMT to copy users to new domain with SID History.
| 5) Install Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003.
| 6) Install and configure ADC.
| 7) Move mailboxes to Exchange 2003 servers.
| 8) Move workstations to new domain.
| 9) Move DHCP to new Servers.
| 10) Move Print and File servers to new domain.
| 11) Decommission old NT servers.
| | Am i missing anything?
| | But i do have a few questions.
| | 1) Do I move workstations to the new domain before or after installing | exchange and moving mailboxes? Or does it matter?
| | 2) Will ADC copy user settings such as rules and out-of-office settings? | If not, what will?
| | 3) How can i redo the ACL settings on file and printer to automatically | point to the new domain?
| | | Thanks for your assistance,
| | Sachin
