Merge two differents EV sites to one (different domain)

I had one windows domain (abc.fr) and an exchange environment 2010 (X) archived by one EVserver (EV10).

And now we are deployed a new domain (abc.com) and a new exchange environment 2013 (Y) archived by a new EVserver (EV12).

So, in the same company we are two domains, two exchange environments and two EVserver.

Finally, the new objective is to merge both EV sites to one in "abc.com" domain and to decommission the old domain (abc.fr), old exchange environment 2012 and EV10.

How can do it?

Please I need help.

    Best way to to enage with one of the consulting groups and do a migration.  Essentially you'll have to export all the archives and import in the the new EV site.  The various migration tools make it managable but that is the basic premise.

    You can also use the "move archive" feature.

    But the destination domain needs to trust the source domain, the service account needs to be working in both domains.

    If that is not possible Transvault could be a widely accepted solution.

      Move archive is moderately useful for limited numbers but doe not scale well.

        That is right, but it will not bring any additional software costs. It always depends on the requirements...
