Thanks for the reply. My boss asked me to come up with an estimate of how long
it would take to move all the mailboxes, and I had no idea what to tell him. :|
I will try moving a large mailbox, and see how long it takes to move.
Thanks
Shannon

That's a pretty tough questions to answer, the move mailbox feature in
Exchange 2000 is single threaded, so it will move one mailbox at a time even
though you may have selected multiple mailbox, the move mailbox feature is
multi threaded so it will move more than one mailbox at a time plus you can
schedule it (but that does not help you).
Network bandwidth plays a part as does server performance, I have seen a
250Mb mailbox take about and hour to move, but I have also seen it take
longer, you might just want to find a good sized mailbox and move that one
and see how long it takes.

I have an Exchange 2000 server that is old and slow, I am preparing to move
all our Exchange 2000 mailboxes to a newer faster server. If I use the move
function inside ADUC, is there a way to estimate how long it might take to
move all of our mailboxes?
Thanks in advance
Shannon
