How to migrate exchange users from one domain to another domain
I need to migrate number of mailboxes (20 to 25 only) from one of our sister companies (test.com) belongs to exchange 2010 into our internal domain (internaldomain.com) in exchange 2010. We are not intended to establish trust between two domains (test.com) and (internaldomain.com). Just intend to migrate their mailboxes from test.com to internaldomain.com but once the migration will be performed then users from test.com will be using their email address/mailboxes sitting in my exchange servers (internaldomain.com)
1. Need to migrate 25 users from test.com to internaldomain.com
2. Users from test.com will use my exchange servers (internaldomain.com) but their email address and mailboxes will be test.com
Need guideline what could be the migration steps I will have to consider. (MX record pointer change, mailbox export etc). Would you kindly assist to know the steps or any appropriate link that might help me!!

Hi Sandeshdubey, thank you for your post, actually i am not intended to do cross forest migration cause i will not be able to perform trust between domain.
Hi Sandeshdubey, thank you for your post, but I am not doing cross forest migration since i am not able to do the trust between domain.
Hi imkottees,
Thank you so much for your guideline, would you kindly assist to know the followings:
1. Create a mailbox for them
Ok, Should I create mailboxes for 25 users as u1@internaldomain.com to u25@internaldomain.com, cause objective is to migrate u1@test.com to u25@test.com in our internaldomain.com
2. Export their pst and copy to your domain
OK,
3. Import it with new mailboxes
How I will import .pst of u1@test.com to U1@internaldomain.com, cause users ,pst is from test.com, would you please clarify more.
4. For same email address, you can put them all in a single OU and create a Email address policy as you want.
OK. I will create single OU and create email address policy and apply that policy on that OU, and will create "Accepted domain" for test.com in our internaldomain.com exchange server.
5. Changing MX record is needed when you are completely (all the users) moving all of them to new domain. if you are doing partial you should not do that.
Yes, we will completely move all the users to new domain, once the above steps will be completed(1,2,3,4) then we will change MX record and point test.com MX to internaldomain.com exchange servers, but during transition period email will be lost or it will be in queue, and what would be the best time to shutdown the test.com email server?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) included on your Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM to move Active Directory objects such as user, computer, group, and OU. MoveTree should only be used in special cases to handle objects (such as contacts) which cannot currently be migrated by ADMT.

Hi Pankaj_401, thank you for your reference link.
Hi imkottees, thank you for your excellent clarification to attend the issue, and surely its been outstanding help for me to get a clear picture of the scenario. Lastly once again requesting on the LegacyDN value, is it mandatory part of this migration, and if so, would you kindly provide me any useful link to perform that..

Hi, You are welcome.
LegacyDN value is important if your users are choosing these users (25 of them) from the local outlook cache. Because outlook use LegacyDN value to send email.
