Implementation of Active Directory & MS-Exchange

Implementation of Active Directory & MS-Exchange
Reply from avinashp on 2/11/2008 10:52:00 AM


In brief the steps are shown below.

I did the migration from exchange 5.5 to exchange 2003 same time Windows NT PDC to Active Directory 2003 for 3000 mailboxes.
1) Upgrade the same OS on the NT PDC Server to an Windows 2000/2003 Server
2) Configure the same Server as the Active Directory Server ( This will pick up all the PDC DB by default)
3) By Default the AD Site will be in mixed mode. ( Dont change from domain from mixed modeuntil you completely migrate exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000/2003/2007) )
4) Install Active Directory Connector (ADC) on the AD server so that the Active Directory can talk to Exchange 5.5 and vise versa.
5) Install Exchange 2003 on another system in the same forest and same exchange organisation where the Exchange 5.5 excists.
6) Move mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to new Exchange 2003 one by one ( this help us to analyse errors, if any while moving mailboxes)
7) Once all mailboxes moved completely, demote the exchange 5.5 from the excisting exchange organisation ( Its pretty easy )
8) Disconnect the AD Connector once exchnage 5.5 is removed.
Thats all :)Good Luck
