Change user's "Exchange Server" to another Exchg Srvr across domains

[rnpIII]

Hello All,

I am trying to find out how to change the users "Exchange Server" name in their user profile, via command- line.

Have about 150 - 200 users and am changing to a whole new server on another domain.
Ideally I need to figure out how to change this info, command- line to incorporate into a batch or maybe even a VBscript.

The Exchange servers are on separate domains and the domains will not be changed at the same time as the Exchange servers.

Both are Exchange 5.5.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I think if you complete a move mailbox command in your Exch Admin this is done automaticly. No further action required.

Thanks N0ktar, I will pursue that line and see where it takes me.

After you perform a Move Mailbox operation, the mailbox is displayed in the "mailbox resources" of both the source and destination servers. On the source server, the total kilobytes displayed is close to 0. On the destination server, the total kilobytes displayed is the correct amount of data.

During a Move Mailbox operation the mailbox data is moved to the destination server, but the directory object is not. This results in the data being homed on the destination server and the Mailbox Directory Object being stranded on the source server.

If you attempt to move the mailbox a second time, the user's mailbox information is removed from the destination server's information store. The source server also removes the mailbox data because it detects the move as being successful. At this point, the user's mailbox information is lost.
