Hello Everybody,
I have a situation and I would like to share it with you, hopefully someone can shed a light on me.
The current configuration is as follows:
Location1------------T1 PPP------------Location2
2003 AD Forest1------------Trust------------2003 AD Forest2
2003 Exchange Site1 (One Server)
(Hosts Emails for Domain1 and Domain2)
Currently users’ mailboxes from ADForest2 at Location2 are located in the Exchange Server at Location1 and all users receive email two both domains.
We are going to install a new Exchange 2003 Server at Location 2 and we would like to transfer all users’ mailboxes at Location 2 to the new Server. Since we are connected thru a T1 this would not work since we have huge mailboxes and would take a lot of time.
So I was wondering does any one have any suggestions on how to do this as efficient as possible? And what would I need to accomplish this? I know how to move mailbox from AD and pst. But I was wondering is there a more effective way? Maybe setup the server on the same physical location (but AD Forest2) as our current exchange server move mailboxes and than bring to new location and change ip address?
Additionally, on the new exchange server we are going to host emails from Domain2, so we need to change the mx record (no problem here) and pointed to the new exchange server public ip address. The catch here is that when everything is set and done not all users from Location1 will have both domains on their email accounts some will have Domain1 only and some will have both. So I need to find a way to forward those emails that come thru Domain2 Exchange Server to Domain1 Exchange Server and viceversa.
Can I do this thru SMTP Connectors or relay? Or what would be best practice ?
So our final configuration that we need to achieve is as follows:
Location1------------T1 PTP------Location2
2003 AD Forest1------------Trust------------2003 AD Forest2
Exchange Site1 (One Server) Exchange Site2 (One Server)
(Hosts Emails for Domain1) (Hosts Emails for Domain2)
As always tek-tips rocks!
Thanks,
Rocket
