I need some help. We have multiple sites in a school district setting with each site having teachers and student logging onto the network and teachers-only e-mail services. We are using NT4, SP6, Exchange 5.5,SP3.
Some teachers were moved from one site to another over the summer.
Problem: How do I get the mailboxes to move to the proper exchange server? eg: High School teacher moves to JrHi but the exchange server that serves her is still the HS exchange server.

If both exchange servers are in the same (logical) site then the solution is easy.

If they do not belong to the same site or are not site linked. Then you will need to export all of their mail into pst's. create the new mailbox on the other server, and then import their mail back in.

If in the same site, simply select the mailbox in exch admin, go to tools/move mailbox. select the server to that is now to host the mailbox. Then open up their mailbox and go to advanced. Make sure thattheir home server is set correctly.

Now in their outlook client, you will have to reset their mailserver location.

FYI- You can *NOT* move mailboxes between containers. Once in a container, it stays in the container. Deleting a mb in a container also deletes all mail!!!
