You can migrate the user using ADMT. Or create a new mailbox, disconnect the existing one, and reconnect it to the new account.
When doing the last option, remember to add his Legacy Exchange DN (fount by AdsiEdit in the user account) as an X500 address after you connect the mailbox to his xxx.com account.

just move his mailbox from exchange server in site yyy to exchange server in site xxx
Sir You understand me wrong,
I have exchange 2003 with windows 2003 on head office which is the parent domain, and a subdomain in workshop  connected to the exchange in the head office,
i have one exchange 2003

MoveTree can do exactly what you need, it will not effect the users mailbox.

It's old, but it still applies, I've used it successfully for this kind of move on Windows 2003 / Exchange 2003:

if I delete the existing user , and I create a new user, the old email box will connect without issues, because once it said access denied for this user

It should connect. When did it say access denied? When you re-connect? Or when you attempt to access the mailbox?

Chris
no ,Mr chris
I delete a user from A.D, I go to exchange esm and see the mail box is in red, when I attemp to join to another user with different name it give error, then i named as the same name it connects

Is the parent domain configured to run Exchange? Do you have rights to the account in the parent domain with the Exchange admin account you're using?

Chris
Sir
I have 2 DC and 1 exchange, those are located in the head office which I have the parent Domain,yes
I have rights.thanks

Did it successfully connect to the renamed account then? And if so, where does Access Denied come in?
