Hi All
I've been involved in this type of migration before and have a process .Not sure if it's the most efficient so I would like some input .I have referenced the EV migration guide bu haven't found anything that discusses this example
We have a customer who will be mirgrating Exchange Users between 2 seperate Forests\Organisations and wants to move the EV archives to a new EV system.
What is the best way to move the Shortcut items ?I have considered 2 options
- Export the EV archives to the old mailboxes and then export the mailboxes,this will restore the shortcuts .Disadvantage with this is the mailboxes will be much bigger now for the migration
- Export the the EV Archives to PST ,migrate the mailboxes and then import the PST 's into the new EV archives .The question I have is now the migrated Mailboxes before the PST import will have references to Shortcuts that are not accessible as there 2 are separate EV systems .When I import the old archive\pst data into the new empty archives will it create duplcate shortcuts in the migrated mailbox ?Should I delete the old shortcuts to avoid this ?
I hope this makes sense ,if anyone has suggestions on a better way to do this please let me know :)
