You can do this pretty easily as long as the proper permissions are set by doing a Remote Mailbox Move Request within Exchange 2010.

so should 1st forest be moved to 2010 first, or introduce a 2010 in 2nd forest and do remote move request?<br />
Then moved linked mailboxes and connect them to users in the 2nd forest (123.com)? What about the disabled accounts in resource forest?

I have a global client. They have 2 forests: xyz.com and 123.com. In xyz.com, they have 2 exchange 2007 servers (1 in US and 1 Over seas). The users in 123.com are using LINKED mailboxes in xyz.com (resource forest) and again don't have their own exchange server. All works great! The goals are:<br />
1. Move to Exchange 2010<br />
2. install Exchange 2010 in 123.com and moved linked mailboxes to their own forest.<br />
<br />
Thoughts? Not used to working with resource forests... I have set them up but not migrated them...
