Exchange migration questions discoveries

Hey guys,
Can anyone advice on exchange migrations. 2003-2010 or 2007-2010. Say you walk into the client. What's the procedure? What questions you asking, what you looking at, etc, etc. Maybe any references, links, etc..

Thanks in advance..

I think the first question you need to ask is whether or not they are using Public Folders. Not because they can't migrate; however, in the long term, they should have a plan to migrate from public folders to SharePoint.

We upgraded from 5 to 2003, and eventually to 2007. Then we dropped our internal Exchange solution for the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite, it made sense for us as we are small operation.

Here is a great link to help you get started:
