I have created the user account from the 5.5 server on the 2003 server same
password and user name, this is something that i knew from before, the user
account on 5.5 has all the permissions necessary to do backups etc. I can use
the built in Migrate tool to copy the data over with this account ( the users
are created allready, and the migration tool is only for when the user is NOT
allready there).
With SBS you cannot do trusts so cannot do that solution, as for doing a PST
file, ther eis a problem, most of my users have email that is over the 2GB
limit that is in exchange 5.5, sooo i only see 2 solutions.
1. exmerge get it to work.
2. delete the users on 2003 and do the migration.. ( last last last resort)
