Migrating Exchange From 2003 to 2013 via 2010
Hi, apologies for the rookie question, but we are looking to migrate our mail system from MS Exchane 2003 to eventually 2013 with Exchange 2010 as the interim step, ie. no user will be using this version.
We have Enterprise Vault 10.0.4 for mailbox archiving working in Exchange 2003 and would like it to still archive and retrieve mail in 2013.
My question is what is involved in terms of Enterprise Vault so we can make the changes to the MS Exchange server.
Would I need to do anything prior to moving the mailboxes between 2003 and 2010 and then repeat the exercise for the jump from 2010 to 2013?
I should add that a select few mailboxes have already been moved and the archived Mail retrieval is still working for these users.
Many thanks in advance.
I thought you said no mailboxes were going to be using Exchange 2010? If no mailboxes will be archived from 2010, there is no reason to target it in EV. In that case, the vault service account would live on 2013. The Exchange 2003 environment should still work. Just make sure you dont move the Enterprise Vault system mailbox from 2003. The old 2003 tasks need to still point to a system mailbox on 2003. You'll need new system mailboxes for 2013 tasks (see the Installing and configuring guide pg. 62 for guidlines if using a DAG).
