Moving user mail boxes in a migration from E2k to E2k3

We are in the final stages are our migration from E2k to E2k3.  I am wondering what thoughts people have on the best way to move the mail boxes.  This meaning keeping users out while their boxes are being moved? Does the outlook client need to be closed during the move?  etc.  Any hints or tips would be useful.  The current path we are going to take is to use the mail box move wizard and move a block of users each night.

Thanks

Kick the users out. If you don't the move will fail.
I do the moves out of hours. If it fails, then I go back and try again. If it still fails then the user gets shouted at.

If I am doing an against the clock move I will find the user's machine and turn it off.
