I am migrating our exchange from Server 2000/Exchange 5.5 to Server 2003/Exchange 2003. I have exchange installed on both machines. They are in the same domain. They are in the same server groups in AD with full privilages to each other. When you look at the exchange manager on both machines, they can see each other but I cannot get them to transfer the existing mailboxes from the 5.5 machine to the 2003 machine. Can anyone help? I have followed all instructions to do this. HELP PLEASE.....

When I am on the Exchange 2003 Server in Exchange System Manager, if I browse to Servers in the Administrative groups, the old 5.5 server shows up as light gray. When I drill down, I can see the mailboxes. I just can't get to them to migrate them.

If you do not have too many recipients you may want to manually create the email boxes in the 2k3 server. Then use Exmerge to import and export the mailboxes from old server to New server. Though it may sound tough, it is not that difficult if it is less than 100 recipients.

Let me know if you need more help. Agni_skk At yahoo.com

Do you have the 2003 ADC installed or the 2000 ADC, you have to install the 2003 ADC when you have a 2003 server in your domain.
