How do I move mailboxes from an offline Exchange 2003 server to Exchange 2007?
I have a scenario in which a company I am doing work for is moving to an entirely new domain (new domain name, new server hardware, virtually everything is new). There old server is SBS 2003 and it contains their old Exchange database. This server is currently offline (i.e. not plugged into the network). Their new server is SBS 2008. I need to find the most efficient way to take the email/contacts from the SBS 2003 server and move it into the respective account on the SBS 2008 box. I know that I can use ExMerge to export to PST files and then import the PSTs via Powershell. Is there an easier option? Thanks for the help!

No. You cannot cross versions. Furthermore as you are going across domains, exmerge is your ONLY option.

Get-Mailbox -ExchangeServer (legacyserver name) woould give you a list of all the users.
Once you have the list of all the users, then run the command
Get-Mailbox -ExchangeServer (legacyserver name) | Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase (E2K7 server\SG\DB) -ConfigurationOnly

If the outlook is in cache mode users can manually take the data into pst and once the mailbox is moved you can ask them to import it back.
