Cross forest mail migration
Hi
We are currently running Exchange 2003 within our AD forest. For the move to Exchange 2010, we're planning on building a new AD forest, this will give us the ideal opportunity to start afresh and keep things standardised etc.
Does anyone know of any native MS tools to migrate mailboxes from one Exchange org (2003) to another (2010)? I know there is the ADMT, but I believe that is for AD accounts only? Or am I mistaken?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
new-moverequest will not "migrate" the accounts but it can create new accounts for you in the target domain, however it in your case, it is better to use ADMT to migrate users and then the script to migrate the mailboxes.
check the link I gave you above

So new-moverequest will move the mailbox only? Or the mailbox and the associated AD account?
