If Exchange is install in same Org. Then you just need to move mailbox to new server. Check with them first, if this inter org transition or cross forest migration. If you still want to export to PST and user count is low, then you can do it via Outlook. However, moving mailbox is straight forward way.

Hi<br />
<br />
Thanks for the reply Amit. &nbsp;Unfortunately the Exchange servers are completely separate. &nbsp;The original server is an Exchange 2003 that I think is a physical server the new Exchange server is hosted in our data centre and is running Exchange 2013 and it is a VM.

Hi Guys<br />
<br />
I am taking on a new client from an existing IT services provider and as part of the transfer they are moving their Mail services from an old Exchange server to a new Exchange 2013 server that I have built.<br />
<br />
My question is, what would be the best way to transfer the existing mailboxes to the new platform ? &nbsp;Is it best to take PSTs of each users mailbox and them import them into the new system once all the new mailboxes have been set up &nbsp;or is there a way to bulk export the mailboxes.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Matthew
