Re: Exporting users email from exchange

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

yep, with sbsmigration you simply backup the exchange files and move them
over to the new server, and mor eimportantly, you do not have to rejoin the
workstations to the new server (causing you to create new user environments
on every workstation, etc.)

Russ/Kevin,

Thanks for the info, good points there Kevin, I'll remember them if I have
to do this again on a larger scale. I'd go the sbsmigration route for
that, which I presume gets round these issues.
Thanks simon.

understand that by exporting each mail box to PST's, the mailboxes on
your new server may be larger than they were on the old. Creating PST
files breaks the Exchange single instance storage (SIS) where if mail is
sent to two people in Exchange, Exchange maintains only 1 copy of that
email.

also, public folders cannot be directly exported to PST files. You will
need to do a two step process -- first copy each public folder to a temp
folder under your Inbox, and then export to a PST. Reverse the process on
your new server.
