Help on Symantec Enterprise Vault Cross Forest Migration
Our client is currently Using Exchange 2003 and the archiving solution is from Symantec.
Enterprise Vault (GRM) - Version 8.0 SP4
Enterprise Vault (VUM) - Version 8.0 SP5
They plan to install Exchange 2010 in a new forest and then migrate the Mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 i.e Cross forest migration.
Customer will install the latest Enterprise Vault solution as a pre-requisite and it will be in place by the time Exchange migrations are started.
But they have not given information on how they would achieve that. We just want to understand how the archives are migrated is this co-existence scenariao as the old Mailboxes would be still using the EV on the old forest.
ck,
There are a couple ways this can be done. If it were me, I would first look at installing EV in the destination forest and archive the Exchange servers in the other forest. Then re-linking the mailboxes on the new Exchange 2010 server with their archives. This would eliminate the need to move the archives.
Either way you go, I would strongly advise you partner with an EV Specialist to architect and implement EV for your customer. This isn't something you want to get right to start with and not have to untangle a big mess partway through.
Regards,
Tony
