Karen,
We did the same thing you are going through now.
We had Netscape Messaging server for our Email, we moved to Exchange over our
Summer.
We took a different approach to this problem. The Exchange server and Netscape
had different Names resolved to.
The teachers were told that when the New Email server was up and running, they
would have to send the mail that they want to the new email address
After a week, the old server was turned off and then the DNS records were
changed so that all email would go to our Exchange server.
Hope that helps a little.
Scott

I'm halfway through a project of moving an organization off of Netscape
Messaging Server and onto Exchange 2000. Things are going well, and I was just
curious to see how others have approached some of the tougher challenges that
I've run across so far. I like the resolutions that I've come up with, but
would be interested to see if there are alternative approaches that I have not
considered.
Thus, what I want to know is, can anybody find documentation on the web (or
elsewhere, I suppose) describing this process? Because nobody I know has been
able to find a document that deals directly with the question of how exactly to
migrate from "Netscape Messaging Server" and "Netscape Directory Server" to
Exchange 2000. There are general discussions of LDAP extractions, etc., but
seems like nobody can find a doc that describes, in very specific terms, how to
(a) extract the data from the Netscape Directory Server (where the address book
info is being stored for the mail) and (b)how to then get that extracted LDAP
info (such as distribution groups) imported into Exchange/Active Directory.
I've figured it out, but has anybody else? And if so, have they written about
it? Did they do it the same way I did? Or did they come up with a better way
to do it? (just wondering.......)
Thanks,
Karen
