Re: NT4 with Exchange 5.5 to SBS2003 R2 using ADMT

Actually, NT4 has been "broke" for sometime if you understand that no updates, etc. have been done for NT4 for a long time.
You would have been much better off (and taken a lot less time) to consider using the Swing Migration Kit at sbsmigration.com

As far as the Exchange...I'd consider running Exmerge to get the mailboxes out and then import them into Exchange 2003

Hi,
I have a customer who wants me to do their migration from NT4 to SBS2003 R2.
Since I've never done it and I've lived on an NT4 domain for the last nine
years (don't fix what aint broke), I took the opportunity to use my own
domain as the guinea pig for a test migration. I found the ADMT help lacking
but, I was successful migrating the domain.
I actually spent several months sort of pregnant but duplicating the users
and key group, syncronizing the new sbs file server with the old file server
and then mapping user on the old dome to shares on the new domain. The only
snag with that was security which I was able to address.
Anyway, my question is about Exchange 5.5 and migrating to the new server;
when I do the ADMT migration will the message stores transfer as well?
