Move-Mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007
Hello,
I have an Exchange 2003 on a separate Forest than my Exchange 2007.
I have created a two-way forest trust.
On Exchange 2007 i have not created a username nor a mailbox for the user i am trying to move.
I am trying to move-mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 using the following cmdlet
Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase "Exchange2007\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" -Identity User1 -GlobalCatalog exchange2007.xxx.domain.co m -SourceForestGlobalCatalog EXC2003.yyy.domain.com -NTAccountOU "OU=Imported,DC=xxx,DC=dom ain,DC=com " -SourceForestCredential $SourceCredential -TargetForestCredential $TargetForestCredential
Here is the error message i get any help will be greatly appricated, because i really dont understand the error message as the mailbox database is in fact correct
Move-Mailbox : The specified mailbox database "EXC2003\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (EXC2003)" does not exist.

nevermind busbar made me recheck the permissions and indeed i found the problem.
I basically delegate full exchange admin control on the exchange 2003 to the Exchange 2007 Administrator and it worked.
So i guess i will give the points to busbar.

ADMT is designed to migrate users computers mailboxes etc accross domains forests, organisations and so on.
it will help via wizards and a bit of configuration to move between versions of exchange AD environments etc.
it is a tool designed by Microsoft to do exactly what you want to do.

yes but on the wizards i haven't notice any wizard for mailbox migration.
user account, groups, computer migration was there but i need to migrate the mailbox not just the user.
Unless there is another way of doing it.

azne,
ADMT cannot migrate mailboxes.
thanks pannivas
ADMT cannot migrate mailboxes.
thanks pannivas
yes you are right sorry need to read what i am typing
so the way forward for you is to use the AD migration tool, which is designed for this purpose, ADMT 3.0 will do the trick.
