Exchange 2010 cross forest migration while keeping user accounts in the source domain
Hi Experts,
I've a requirement to migrate Exchange mailboxes into a completely new AD forest and then link them to existing AD forest user accounts. Current environment is as follows,
Domain: abc.local
DC : Windows 2008
Exchange : Exchange 2010
Target Forest :
Domain : xyz.local
DC : Windows 2008
Exchange : Exchange 2010
Current Exchange domain accepting (Authoritative) for contoso.com mail domain. Source domain (abc.local) is the only forest open to internet and accepting mails. What we need to do is create mailbox in the xyz.local side and migrate the mailboxes. Customer doesn't like to migrate the user account but only to map a mailbox in xyz.local
My main concern is contoso.com mail are accepted by abc.local so how we can configure that Exchange server to replay mail to xyz.local server when we migrate several user mailboxes. Hope someone can shed some light over here.

Anyone has carried out similar project like this? All I want to know is how can we have the same e-mail domain named mailboxes co-exist between two active directory forest during the mailbox mapping and mailbox integration to the target forest.
Thanks,
