That will work just fine. ________________________________ From: Mike French [mailto:mike.french@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 11:53 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] quick & dirty Migration http://www.MSExchange.org/ I need some advice: I have a client who has an Exchange 2003 server hosted off-site. The off-site box is in a domain that is different from their local LAN. They want to run Exchange in their LAN and get rid of the off-site box. What I thought about doing is install and configure a new exchange server on the LAN, re-point their MX to their local WAN ip and setup the PTR's with their DNS host. Once they start receiving e-mail to the local exchange server, go out to the off-site box and exmerge all their mail to PST's. I'll bring them back to the local LAN and import them to their respective mailboxes either at the server or at the outlook client. This somehow seems too simple, I've tested this in a VM lab and I didn't see any problems, but I thought I would ask before I leap into this project.
