My company is trying to migrate from Exchange 2003 to a Exchange 2007 in different domains. The Exchange 2003 is on Windows 2000 Server and the Exchange 2007 is on Windows 2003 Server x64. We are using a third party migration software, but have hit a little snag. Pretty much everything is working except the Linked mailbox function due to only migrating several accounts at a time. We are in the testing stages right now. I got the cmdlet that the third party software uses for the Linked Mailbox. For this question I will use Sample.net as the domain.
Enable-Mailbox -Database "TargetExchangeServer\Mail
box Database" -Identity test1@TargetDomain.local -LinkedDomainController SourceDC.Sample.net -LinkedMasterAccount Samplenet\UserAccount -LinkedCredential $SC -whatif
This cmdlet comes back with a Failed to resolve the linked master account and verify it exists in another forest different from the one hosting Microsoft Exchange. Error message: Received
a referral to Target Domain.local when requesting CN=Configuration,DC=Target
Domain,DC=local from SourceDC.Sample.net. You have specified the wrong server for this operation.
When I run the same cmdlet with Sample.net\UserAccount, Sample\UserAccount, or UserAccount@sample.net for the LinkedMasterAccount the cmdlet works. This is becoming an annoying issue that is probably easy to solve, but I'm just not seeing the answer. We are currently running 2 seperate WINS Servers one for each domain.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
