how to migrate from one E2K3 server to another E2K3 server

[Eric]

Hello,

I'm about to move all mailboxes and PFs from one exchange 2003 server to
another exchange 2003 server in the same routing group. After that I will be
retiring the original exchange 2003 server.
Is there any documentation from MS on how to achieve this without disrupting
services and causing other problems? Just want to make sure I don't cause
any unforeseen problems in this operational environment.

thanks
Eric

Eric-

I don't have any documentation handy, but, the move mailbox wizard and
public folder replication are probably the easiest combination of tools to
get this job done. Your users won't notice a thing. A user only gets
disconnected from their mailbox while their mailbox is being moved between
servers. Outlook automatically detects the move and updates the profile.
