Here's the scenario.
Current environment:
One Domain (Windows 2000 AD)
Two Exchange Sites (Exchange 5.5)
Archiving is complete and no longer running, it was a one time archive. So if I need to keep archiving I just zap the mailbiox and create a second vault for the new mailbox in the new domain and Exchange server. I'm more concerned with being able to have the users pull up their data from a shortcut.
Going to:
Completely new Forest, Domain, upgraded to Windows 2003 AD, Exchange 2003
Users will be migrated with SID history via Quest migration tool.
First pahse
Users accounts and mailboxes are migrated to the new AD and Exchange environment via Quest. Vault, SQL Servers reside in the old domain. All trusts are completely set up. Users will only need to bring up archived messages via the shortcut in their inboxes from the vault in the old domain. Users do not use the web application, it is removed.
Second phase:
Archiving servers and SQL servers will be moved into the new environment (same domain as the 2003 Exchange servers, and AD where the users reside). A new service account will be set up.
Silly question but anyone do this before? And what complciations do you guys foresee?Message was edited by:
