Migrating mailboxes to exchange 2007 from Exchange 2003 - crossdom T.Heinonen 04.07.2007 10:42:00 Hi, We are planning to replace entire SBS server with 2003 R2 standard server. Is there any easy way to migrate exchange 2003 mailboxes and public folders to new server? We can't use transition packs. All the migration documentation I have found out won't work because of relying on trusts between migrating servers. Br, Timo

Otherwise, for the mailboxes you can Exmerge to .pst and back ( 2 Step ) for the Public Folders, Export from Outlook to .pst and then via Outlook into the new PFs. -- Henry Craven {SBS-MVP} "T.Heinonen" <THeinonen[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8C7D2EF5-4413-4232-AD7F-CC0984181FF7[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Migrating mailboxes to exchange 2007 from Exchange 2003 - crossdom "Henry Craven {SBS-MVP}" <sme[ at ]nevernever.lan> 04.07.2007 11:55:57 OOps My Bad, Missed the Exchange 2007 bit... SBS Exch 2003 to Full Exch 2007 I don't know as I've only done Std Exch 2003 to 3007 by co-existence and then just moving the mailboxes, replicating the PFs and then de-commissioning the Exch 2003. Exmerge doesn't work with Exch 2007 so your only option is import the .psts via Outlook. Alternative ( if you have a large number of mailboxes ) would be to set up an Exch 2003 server, exmerge to that, move mailboxes, and then de-commission the Exch 2003... .....none of these are pretty, and the mind boggles at the work the Dev team will have to do to provide a transition from SBS 2003 to Cougar... -- Henry Craven {SBS-MVP} "Henry Craven {SBS-MVP}" <sme[ at ]nevernever.lan> wrote in message news:10BAD741-0DA5-4337-AF56-8582DAAA30C9[ at ]microsoft.com...
