At a high level, you pretty much just want to upgrade the main site and create the new connector. That indicates that you would use the ADC as well and just push the mailboxes over to the new 2003 server but there are some Windows things that have to be accomplished as well, so take your time and break it out by application (Windows Active Directory first, stabilize, then Exchange) For more detailed information however, take a look at the migration documents at www.microsoft.com/exchange/library <http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library> Al _____ From: Zafar Pravaiz [mailto:Zafar.Pravaiz@xxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 3:23 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Please Suggest http://www.MSExchange.org/ HI All We are currently using Exchange 5.5. We have 2 sites connected over a 64K lease circuit thru X.400 connector. These are 2 different Windows Domain having 2 way trust relationship. Both sites are under same Email Domain(xyz.ae) and main site has IMS service which send & receive mails for both the sites and distributes. Now our main site is going to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 with Windows 2003 but other site still will be using Exchange 5.5 and connecting with us. Now please suggest me the way I can connect both the sites with new scenario and providing all services as before. WE share GAL, Public folder and OWA which is installed on our main site.
