Re: Exch 5.5 to E2K3 Upgrade Design Questions |

Hello,
my thoughts inline...

We are currently 'whiteboarding' what a migration would look like for our
setup.
We currently have a single Exchange Org with 8 Exch 5.5 sites. Approx
each
Exch 5.5 site is an NT4.0 domain (all domains are 2-way trust mesh). We
are
looking at consolidating to one domain in one datacenter site.
We're looking at performing an upgrade of the main a/c's NT4 domain and
perform an intra-org upgrade. Couple of questions have arisen :
1. When we upgrade the NT4 domain and introduce a new E2K3 server into the
first Exchange 5.5 site, what will it look like in ESM? - We think a AG
and
RG per Exch 5.5 site (ie 8 x AG and 8 x RG). Is this correct ?
That is correct. |
| Quote: | 2. Number of ADC's required. Do we need a ADC-CA PER Exch5.5 site or just
one CA for the Exch Org? - we're really confused about this one.
You will have indeed an ADC per site, because you have the site-based |
administration feature of Exchange 5.5.
| Quote: | 3. Our plan is to use the Site and Server consolidation features of E2K3
SP1. Will it allow us to move mailboxes from the Exch5.5 sites to the new
E2K3 server in a different site ?
Yes it will. You can in fact move a mailbox homed on an Exchange 5.5 server |
to an Exchange 2003 Sp1 server homed in another Administrative Group. Make
sure you have installed the hotfix on your Exchange 5.5 though.
