Thats excatly what exmerge does, but on a server level. It exports from the mailbox into a pst. You then run exmerge again when it's time to import the pst's back into exchange. <br />
Oh yeah, it's also &quot;free&quot;.<br />

Nothing wrong with Exmerge, it's a great example of automation.<br />
But not always user friendly. Great when it works though.

I have been given the task of replacing an Exchange Server AND a file &amp;&nbsp;print server with a new Small Business Server.<br />
<br />
What is the process to move the mailboxes from the present Exchange server ( which is also a 2003 Enterprise server domain controller) to the new 2003 Small Business Server ?<br />
<br />
I suspect it may not be a straight forward process.<br />

Need help moving mailboxes from Exchange Server to Small Business Server

I have been given the task of replacing an Exchange Server AND a file &amp; print server with a new Small Business Server.

What is the process to move the mailboxes from the present Exchange server ( which is also a 2003 Enterprise server domain controller) to the new 2003 Small Business Server ?

I suspect it may not be a straight forward process.

Thanks

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
