Users cannot open additional mailboxes after migrating from exchange 5.5 to 2003
We are currently in a migration process from Exchange 5.5 to exchange 2003 including migrating to Active Directory.
Most things have gone smoothly but one issue is causing a great bain of time.
The Issue:
After migrating all mailboxes from 5.5 to 2003 for some reason outlook 2000 wont recognise that the additional mailboxes that people create are now on the new 2003 server. They still think they are on the 5.5 server. The user mailboxes are fine, and permissions are fine.
Re-creating the the outlook profile seems to cure the problem but on 500 ish machines is becoming a nightmare.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

Sorry i think you have used Exchange Task Wizard to Move Mailboxes.
You can check with the tool from MS Site:

We did not use Exchange task wizard to move mailboxes, we used Exchange mailbox migration wizard.
And EXPROFRE (Exchange profile redirect) to move the profile.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I suppose you have created new profile for all the users again to access their mailboxes from exchange 2003 servers.As outlook even can not recognise those mailboxes of users as well .You have to add additional mailboxes to users profile manually as you are creating profile for their user's mailboxes.
Thanks
