Need help to reassociate Exchange account properties to the Active Directory User properties.

Migrating Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003, Cross server with same Administration group, in the same domain. I have two users that is seems during the move process their email account information seems to have been removed from the Active Directory user properties, but the users can still access there email perfectly. Is there a way to reassociate the exchange account properties to the Active Directory user properties. I have tried the exchange cleanup tool, in an attempt to fix it that way but I do not receive the red x through the mailbox so I can reassign it.

What options are you receiving in exchange tasks??
You could exmerge/pst their mailboxes and then delete their mailboxes >> recreate them >> drop the mail back in??

For the exchange tasks in System Manager, I get move/delete mailbox, configure exchange feature, and associate with external account.

AD users and computers exchange tasks for the user is: create mailbox, establish email address, remove exchange attributes. (which gives you a you really don't want to do this box). I'm starting ot thin k I should, but I have to check to see if the mailboxes are being backuped by Backup exec.

Sorry about the typing tomany things going on at once. I was thinking I have to do the remove the exchange attributes, from the user account in AD user and computers, after thinking about it for the past day or so.
Their mailboxes must exist somewhere on the system, run the following command and this should produce a text file which you can then go to edit >> find >> and search for the users names.  Once you have located the users mailboxes post back

Sorry been a hectic weekend and week so far, I have completed the dump file and looked at the mailboxes and the account information.
Did you find the users mailboxes within the dump file??
