Hi all,

> 1°) merging the 3 exchange 55 organizations in one and updating to
> exchange 2K after
> This sounds the best way to do it, well documented by Microsoft and
> technically more simple. But I prefer to start from a green/fresh install
> of a new ex2K organization than updating an old one. ( anyway, I have to
> move servers between orgs ).
> So why no this one :
> 2°) merging and migrating in the same time directly to a new exchange 2K

> This one looks more quicker but technically very hard.
