Hi !
We have a setup which has 3 Exch5.5 sites. We are looking at performing an
Intra-Org upgrade by installing an E2K3 server into our main Exch 5.5 site
only and use the E2K3+ SP1 tools to perform cross-admin group moves of all
the mailboxes to this new E2K3 server.
Initially, it will be in mixed mode. Can I confirm that we can use the
cross admin move facility in E2K3 mixed mode? - Or do we have to go to Native
Mode to use this facility?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ms Moc

Prior to Exchange Server 2003 SP1, you could only move from Exchange 5.5
servers to Exchange 2003 in the same administrative group/site. SP1 removed
the limitation. Don't need native mode (since that by definition excludes
Exchange 5.5 servers).

Check the move mailbox section:
