Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / July 2006Migrate exchange mailboxes intraforest across domains
Our Forest: corp.com Our resource domains: a.corp.com and b.corp.com Everything is at least Windows2003 and Exchange 2003SP1 We currently have ExSrvB in b.corp.com which is in a different administrative group in exchange. We want to migrate all the mailboxes from this server to ExSrvA in a.corp.com. The useraccounts whose mailboxes are on ExSrvB are in the b.corp.com domain, we also want to migrate these user-accounts to a.corp.com. I know some of the tasks can be performed with ADMT, but I'm not really sure about the Exchange part. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for the Exchange migrations ? Thanks in advance! IIRC, you can use the right-click feature and choose to move mailbox if in native mode Exchange. Can't think of a reason why that wouldn't do what you want. Or am I missing something? (note, you cannot move servers across those boundaries, but users you can do all day long.) "In Exchange 2003 SP1, you can move mailboxes across administrative groups by using either the Move Mailbox Wizard in Exchange System Manager or the Exchange Task Wizard in Active Directory Users and Computers." http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/Ex2k3DepGuide/94541 013-3bf1-4144-a880-9cc4fee39946.mspx?mfr=true > Our Forest: corp.com > Our resource domains: a.corp.com and b.corp.com [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks in advance! Ok thanks, So to summarize, I could: 1: Move the mailboxes to ExSrvA in a.corp.com 2: In the next phase, using ADMT migrate the users/groups from b.corp.com to a.corp.com, and those users would retain access to their mailboxes through SID-history ? A related question, is it necessary to run the ExProfRE tool on workstations to redirect the Outlook profiles ? We are using Exchange 2003 SP1 in native mode, I read conflicting information about this. thanks in advance for any comments! > IIRC, you can use the right-click feature and choose to move mailbox if in > native mode Exchange.

Sidhistory is not something you want to keep forever as it can be troubling later to leave it. Changing the id associated is something to consider. My take has always been to just get it over with in swoop. In fact, I have a tendency to want to do the migration the other way around: sec prins first, then the mailboxes. The reason for that is that is the natural progression of how you would install it as well. Seems to work better that way. Because it's one server to the next with native move tools, you don't *have* to change the profiles IIRC. It's been a while though, so test it thoroughly in your environment.
