Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / May 2006Cross Domain Migration from Exchange 2000 to 2003
I've got a bit of a confusing problem. We have got an Exchange 2003 org and we are going to be moving the mailboxes from a Windows 2000 domain to it. In the E2k3 domain, we already have contacts set up for the users that we are going to be moving. The obvious thing to do is delete the contact before we set up the ADC and then import the ID's. Unfortunately, the Contact has the Display name that we want to use. The 2000 domain uses an old naming convention and we need to have them updated to the 2003 version. (it's quite a drastic change as well) I've got a few ideas, but haven't been able to come up with the best solution yet. I was able to export my contacts to a CSV file and I hoped I could somehow use that to update my 2000 domain before I start the migration, but I wasn't sure how to do that. I wasn't sure if maybe I could use ADCLEAN after I set up the ADC, but I'm not sure if it will let me merge a contact with an ID. I don't think that AD modify will help at all. Anyone have a solution? I'm a little confused about what you want to accomplish. I *think* you want to use the ADC interorg migration to migrate to an E2K3 org that already has contacts representing your users. However, you want those contacts to have a display name that's different then the source display name. Is that correct? If so, you would likely do well to remove the contacts currently in the target and start fresh. There are mapping files in the ADC that can be manipulated but they won't likely let you apply the rules you want to give you the desired results. Your options would therefore be to use IIFP and customize it to your needs, or use the ADC Interorg and some scripting or ldifde (CSV format won't allow modifications natively) to modify the display names. Personally, I'd prefer the ADC interorg and scripts since it's a one time change. Do this after you change-freeze the source and it would be a one time deal. If I misunderstood your requirement, please correct me. Al > I've got a bit of a confusing problem. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Anyone have a solution? |
