Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / March 2006Split Mixed Exchange organisation
Hi, Has anyone encountered a situation where they need to split off Exchange 5.5 sites from a mixed E2K3 and E5.5 organisation.? The Exchange 5.5 sites that need to be split off do not have E2K3 deployed into them. By removing the directory replication connectors to the sites that need to be split off, this would replicate those sites as being removed and no longer exist within the organisation via the Exchange 5.5 replication. I would then end up with 2 orgs, the original mixed mode org and the newly created org that has been split off. Last step would be to deploy the first e2k3 server in the new org (split off sites) and upgrade to 2003. Any feedback on this appreciated. I'm facing the same situation too. What are your questions/problems? I have exactly the same thoughts as you do (removing dir rep connector; end up w/ 2 organizations) I believe the 2 organizations (after spliting) would function normally.

So removing the DRC connector to a 5.5 site would then create a new org, containing the cut off site and should be able to do a intra org migration in each and end up with two Exchange mixed orgs. Have a look at this KB 839049. But.. When in a mixed org already, how would the impact differ when removing the drc to a 5.5 site ? Any info on these types of scenarios would be appreciated. I have done some research myself but there is nothing from MS on this. Can we contact directly. Perhaps we could share info? > I'm facing the same situation too. What are your questions/problems?

Hi, Did some tests, it seems that even in running in a mixed E2k3 and E5.5 org by splitting off the sites that do not have e2k3 introduced to them yet, you can create a seperate org as part of another forest. We went from a mixed org to two independant e2k3 orgs. What may still be usefull is if anyone has seen a document on very detailed technical behaviour that an E2k3 server does when installed into a 5.5 site, the interactions etc.?
