Exchange Server MigrationWe are currently using a Windows 2003 server with Exchange 2003 installed on it as our Email server but have bought a new server as a replacement this is installed with Windows 2008 and Exchange 2007. I have (as far as I can tell) got all the Public Folder replication working and can view the 2003 mailboxes from the 2007 console what I need to do next is to migrate the mailboxes across. I am hoping to do this in stages so reducing the amount of downtime we have hence my question. Is it possible to move say 10 mailboxes at a time and have the moved users email routed from the Exchange 2003 server to the Exchange 2007 server so that any incoming mail is delivered to them? I don't think for a second that this is going to be possible but I also know that there are a lot brighter people then me in the world so I have asked. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Anthony Sure, that’s how it works. You schedule mailbox moves to happen in the
middle of night and they go. The users should never notice the change.

It is not particuarly the mailbox move that worries me, it is getting round the client PC's to point Outlook at the new server. A lot of our users are mobile so this could cause quite a bit of disruption to them. Show quoteHide quote "Martin Blackstone [MVP]" wrote: > Sure, that’s how it works.

getting a message or two, but they're pretty innocuous. -- Show quoteHide quoteEd Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..

migration when you don't change organizations) is within the same Exchange organization, which I assume from what you've posted. It should all be wondrously automatic. This is one thing that's worked very well since the beginning of time (Exchange 4.0). -- Show quoteHide quoteEd Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..

Try yourself first! Then pick a few more victims to test on. The mistake I see lots of people making is they throw up the server and move everyone then sink fast. Move a few people and use them as guinea pigs.
