In fact you can actually spread your migration over a number of days by moving the mailboxes in small batches. However ensure that you have sufficient disk space on your transaction log drive, as you will see large number of transaction logs being created, while moving the mailboxes. Regards Allan L. ________________________________ From: Robert Abela [mailto:robert@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 5:21 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Moving Exchange 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Allan, If I start moving mailboxes I cannot stop in the middle of the process right? I have to make them all at once cause exchange won't recognize which mailbox is on which exchange right? So this move should be done, overnight or no right?
