i have more than 10 different sites in single OU. Existing Setup nt 4.0 with
Exchange 5.5 sp4.
new setup windows 2003 sp1 & exchange 2003 sp2.
i join one exchage site for installing new exchange 2003 . mY question is
for other site should i join to first sites where i join my first exchange
server 2003 . or remote end site where my existing nt 4.0 and exchange 5.5. i
want best solution. if i join remote end server to their site then after
migrating all 10 sites i have to remove all ADC connector delete all Exchange
connection Agreements . after that i have change mode from from mixed mode to
native mode then i can move anywhere my server

Sandeep, I think your question is whether or not to join to existing site or
not. If that's the case, then the answer is that it depends. :)

If you want to be able to move user mailboxes and public folders using the
native tools that come with the ESM, then you'll need to join an Exchange K3
server to each 5.5 site. If you plan to use some other migration toolset
(ADMT?) then you can join it to the original site and migrate the remaining
user and PF data.
