Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / January 2005Best way to migrate
There are three departments, A, B, and C, that are part of the NT 4 domain called General. The PDC for the domain is located in Department A, while Department B and C each have a BDC. Also, there is an exchange server in each department, which are all part of the same site. Department A would like to migrate to a Windows 2003 server into their own Active Directory domain seperate from the General domain. They would also like to migrate their exchange server to an Exchange 2003 server. Can anyone point to some documentation or make any suggestions on different ways of migrating Department to their own domain with little obstruction to Department B and C? All the users, computers, and mailboxes for Department A will need to be migrated to the new Active Directory domain. Thanks, Mario Lopez Hi, I would recommend having a look at www.microsoft.com/windows and www.microsoft.com/exchange. If you can keep the domains in same forest it will be easier to administer the environment. You may have to start off deciding on your active directory structure (AD) first. Windows 2003 relies on AD. You will need to know if all the exchange servers still need to talk with each other and share the same address book this will have big affect on your design. Also have a read on topics such as Exchange 5.5 to 2003 migration. This article explain Exchange 5.5 to 2003 http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/previous/55.mspx This article explains AD http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en -us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/ w2k3tr_ad_over.asp > There are three departments, A, B, and C, that are part of the NT 4 domain > called General.
