Hi All<br />
<br />
We are soon going to start work on the following project and I was hoping someone could provide me with some background info help us kick off :)<br />
<br />
Basically, we are running Exchange 2003/AD 2003 and are migrating to Exchange 2010/ AD 2008. We have created a new AD forest running 2008 DC's with 2010 Exchange servers.<br />
<br />
Now I am looking at how we're going to move the mailboxes from 2003 to 2010. AFAIK, Exchange does not support mailbox moves between different orgs. I understand Quest has tools that can carry this out well.<br />
<br />
Question1: When Quest 'moves' the mailbox from the 2003 org to the 2010 org, does anyone know how that is carried out? Does it make a copy in the new org then delete the original once all the data has copied over? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?<br />
<br />
Question2: Rather than migrate the AD accounts, we are creating new AD accounts in the second forest and re-ACL'ing. I'm curious - when Quest migrates the mailboxes, how does this affect the msExch attributes of the two AD accounts?<br />
<br />

Using Quest to migrate mailboxes between Exchange orgs

Project management is the discipline of carefully projecting or planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.
