Hello,

I'm attempting to preform a migration to exchange 2003 via the "swing"
method, as describe in KB 821896. I've got the second exchange server up and
running, and it's seen in the Exchange System manager on both Exchange
servers.

I moved a test account (jamtest2) from the original server (ms1) to the
"swing" server (ms2). The jamtest2 user, can recieve mail from ms1, and
can send mail to both ms1 and through a mail relay. However incoming
e-mail destined for jamte...@ad-domain.org does not make it to the
users mail box. Instead, the sender gets a this message:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the
message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two
recipients. Contact your administrator.

< sendmail.server.isp.org #5.4.6 SMTP; 554 5.4.6 Too many hops>
When I do a nslookup for the mx records for my AD domain I get:

H:\>nslookup
Default Server: dns.ad-domain.org
Address: 192.168.120.2

Quote:
set type=mx
ad-domain.org

Server: dns.ad-domain.org
Address: 192.168.120.2

ad-domain.org MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ms1.ad-domain.org
ad-domain.org MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ms2.ad-domain.org
ms1.ad-domain.org internet address = 192.168.120.10
ms2.ad-domain.org internet address = 192.168.120.12

I can't seem to find any documentation on how to make to exchange
servers play nice in the same domain. ( From what little I've found,
this should just "happen"). Is there any pertainant KB articles I
should be reading?

Thanks In advance,
James

like you said, it should jsut work. The MX record stuff shouldn't matter
since if the email goes to the old server, it should know to then hand it
off to the new server. If you try to connect to jamtest2 from Outlook by
pointing to the old mailserver, does it automatically redirect you to the
new one?
Also, what is your recipient policy set up like, does it just have
ad-domain.org domain or does it have others that could be the default that
doesn't match what the new server is hosting?

Thanks for the response,

Out look does indeed get redirected to ms2 if I set the exchange server to
ms1. My recipent policy has only ad-domain.org for smtp. It's set as the
primary.
