Hi guys,
just "inherited" a job, where 2003 and 5.5 co-exist. Im a network admin by trade, and not a exchange admin, so please bear with me.
First problem that I have is that previous admin could not figure out how to completely migrate 5.5 to 2003, then he ends up running on 2003 on a borrowed server. At this point Im looking at moving whatever is left on 5.5 to 2003. Then early 2007, I need to get a new server, and put exchange 2007 and bury this thing for a while. At this time, this thing is a pain in the rear end.
couple of problems, I was hoping you can help me with.
First one, some of the accounts (primarily mine) when sending header is the following
<IMCEAEX-_O=CITY+20OF+20SOME+20
CITY_OU=CHALL_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=NAME@domain.ca>
Most users do no have that issue. If I shut down 5.5 my mails do NOT go out.
Second issue. Lets assume that my username is NAME@domain.ca.
When I started they mispleed it, so it was one letter off
say NANE@domain.ca
When I started, that was corrected. But was it really?
every time I send something it still shows under IMCEAEX header.
It seams like it keeps wanting to send all the email out via the old server. It will receive mail fine when old server is shut down.
This is just a start. This is what I need your help with at this moment. Eventually I would like to shut down that 5.5 server and get rid of it for good. I only have 170 users, so all I need is one server, but dealing with 5.5 and 2003 mess is not fun.
Any help is much appriciated.
Thank you
