Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / June 2004Exchange 5.5 migration to Exchange 2003
Hi, I have a relatively simply migration from initial forcast...I do not have any Exchange 5.5 data that will be migrated nor do I have any publkic folder data. All GALS will be recreated etc...my only major problem is that I want to perform this migration slowly...That is put new users on the new exchange server daily. IE I want to migrate 10 users a day....My only problem is that they will have the same e-mail address as before...so when an external user send e-mail to the users how do they know which exchange server to send it to......obviosuly its going to look at the MX records and will use the first one it finds which is the old exchange server....but the users mailbox is on the new server now....how do I get around this so mail will be correctly routed to the new exchange server? Any help is appreciated.

You could use alternate recipients, but with no data being migrated, why not write a script to create new Outlook profiles for users and migrate everyone at once?  SignatureChris Scharff MessageOne http://www.messageone.com -- ROT13 for valid SMTP address -- Hi Chris, I got about 300 users to migrate to the new W2K3 domain and then to the E2K3 server. As much as I would love to do this all at once I am not going to be able to. I would first need to join the user to the new domain and then create the outlook profile..so its going to be a users on the old nt4.0 domain with the old exchaneg 5.5 server and then a few users will be on the new w2k3 domain with the new e2k3 server.....I need a co-existance strategy...too many users to do all at once and the CIO has requested it. so I am stuck with an e-mail routing problem....thanks for your response it is much appreciated, Thanking You Elvis >-----Original Message----- >In the last exciting episode, "Elvis" [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >why not write a script to create new Outlook profiles for users and >migrate everyone at once?

SignatureChris Scharff MessageOne http://www.messageone.com -- ROT13 for valid SMTP address -- Hi Chris, Your help is greatly recommended.....I was also thinking...if I establish a two way trust... with the old Nt4.0 domain and the new W2K3 domain, then if I join users to the new w2k3 domain, how would I prevent a double login if they are using the old mail (exchange5.5) from the old domain when they are now logging onto the new domain? Would trusts prevent this....because if I can migrate everyone to the new domain first using the old domain's e-mail then I can script the outlook profile so that the swap over happens all at once... Once again your help is appreciated. Or can I use the new Exchange while logging onto the old domain. without authenticating twice?

Yeah, you can do the latter (log into the old domain, and access Exchange in the new domain but only have to authenticate once). There's a whitepaper on Exchange resource forests which I believe describes the process. You need the Exchange forest to trust the old domain and give the old NT accounts permissions on the new accounts/mailboxes. They need the following set... full mailbox, associated external account and one other permission I can't seem to remember off of the top of my head. Then you could change everyone's profile at once, but their domain membership and the domain membership of their computer account will not be an issue.
