Retiring Exchange 5.5
with Exchange 2003 SP1 Tools
While the process
of migrating mailboxes across sites\admin groups has gotten easier
with Exchange 2003 w/ SP1 or higher there are still many steps
involved. But at least the steps required to move a mailbox across
sites has been reduce to two, where it used to be at least half a
dozen additional steps to those listed above. The addition of the
Exchange Deployment Wizard has also taken some of the ?behind the
scenes magic? out of the upgrade process from Exchange 5.5.
