Ok. Thanks Greg very much for the heads up. I will post as we progress. Bravo on the awesome list... -thomas -----Original Message----- From: Lara, Greg [mailto:GLara@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 8:02 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2003 Migration http://www.MSExchange.org/ Thomas, there is a host of information (literally and figuratively) on the Microsoft site about this migration path, and I suggest you at least read the planning and deployment guides from the Exchange 2003 technical library. It will answer this and many other questions you might have. But, not to keep you waiting, if you're not doing a mass upgrade then you'll need ADC to ensure that those who have been migrated to the 2003 box can still "see" the folks who haven't been migrated, and vice versa. Since Exchange 2003 uses Active Directory as its directory, and Exchange 5.5 has its own directory, this is the only means of ensuring that the two talk to each other and remain consistent during the migration.

Each location has a 2K DC running Exchange 5.5. We are in the process of adding an additional WIN2K server to the network that will run our new EX2003 server for an eventual migration to EX2003. Do we have to use ADC for the 5.5 box? We would like to be able to bring the new Exchange 2003 server online and then move the boxes form the 5.5 server to the EX2003 server one by one. We want to prevent a mass "upgrade" by which all of the boxes are moved at once from the 5.5 box to the EX2003 box. Thanks for any guidance. -thomas ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: glara@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: arena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
