Email Address Policy Exchange 2007
I am doing a test upgrade, in VMware Workstation, from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. I have followed a number of documents from Microsoft on the upgrade or transition process, but got a little confused when it came to the Recipient Update Services portion. Based on articles that I read, specifically http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905.aspx, in steps 8 and 9 it is confusing. When I went to the ESM>Recipients>Recipient Policies area, I noticed that the Mailbox Manager Setting was already unchecked. I did not touch it. Does this get unchecked somehow automatically when installing Exch07?
Next, Under Recipient Update Services, is it necessary to transfer them to the new Exch07 server? I know that Exch07 does not use them, but you cannot uninstall Exch03 unless they are "moved" to another server. Is it necessary to move them at all or can I just safely delete? The Enterprise one needs to be removed using ADSIEdit.
Third, when I tried to apply the default E-Mail Address Policy on the new Exch07 server, it failed with a few errors as seen below. I created a new E-Mail policy and it seems to be working.
How does the default email policy in the Exch03 server get transferred to the new Exch07 server? Do I need to worry about these errors? But, as I said, creating a new default policy in Exch07 seemed to work.
