From: ed on 20 May 2010 09:41 Rich, Sorry to bother you again since you have had lots of experience on this. In my test envir. I did move mailboxes from exchange 2003 to exchange accross two forests. use ADMT to migrate users in the target forest and create empty mailbox in the target exchange server and then use exmerge to export and import mailboxes. Are these right steps? If we need move exchange2003/exchange 2007 mailboxes to exchange 2010/exchange 2007, any changes on the above steps? any other better way to do it? THANK YOU!

Are these right steps? The ADMT is okay, but I'd use "move-mailbox" to get the mailboxes moved to the new forest. It's faster than exmerge and you have more control over how you want the mailboxes set up. >If we need move exchange2003/exchange 2007 mailboxes to exchange >2010/exchange 2007, any changes on the above steps? any other better way to >do it?

I found this http://msexchangehelp.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/cross-forest-move-mailbox-request-from-exchange-2003-to-2010/ to use prepare-moverequest.ps1 and even I can not find it in my exchange 2010 script folder Do you have link or syntax to use move-mailbox to move mailboxes accross the forest?
