I had same problem when I first migrated from 5.5 over to 2003. Recipient Update Services was the culprit. I ended up adding a new Recipient Update Service for each domain controller I have, particularly the Global Catalog servers.
Then when adding a new user, send an email to that address...
With only 32 users, I wouldn't even bother with a "migration". You said you moved the mailboxes over via ExMerge. I'd just change all your DNS, etc, and start routing mail through the new box.
The System Folder on the old 5.5 server contains the Global Address Book, Offline Address Book, and...
In Exchange Administrator, go to 'Connections', then open properties on your Internet Mail Connector.
On the Connections tab, check Accept Connections Only From Hosts using: Authentication. Then click 'Specify by Host...' and add the IP address of the SPAM filter server that is allowed to...
I did the same thing...ADC seems to work better (and MS recommends it) if you install on a GC server.
The account is a member of Enterprise and Schema admins...does it also have full Service Admin rights from the top level of your Exchange 5.5 org down?
Is your Exchange 5.5 box still actively being used? Do AD user accounts access mailboxes on the 5.5 server?
What about Public Folders?
ADC will populate your AD with all the Pub, Priv, and System folder info. If you're gonna just take it offline, and start a new Exchange 2003 org from...
But remember that LDAP connection is your whole tie back into AD.
I used the exact same AD Tools Wizard in my migration...Step 4 never did work for me without errors. BUT, looking through my error logs, I was able to determine that the mailboxes, connectors, etc, that were causing the errors...
As far as hidden recipients...I've either deleted or moved those as well. There is literally NOTHING in the recipients container on the 5.5 server - no mailboxes, no dist. groups, nothing hidden.
As for Public Folders, I followed what seems to be standard practice. I initially added the 2003...
Does this happen when you RUN step 4 or VERIFY in step 4?
I had very similar problems on Step 4 in my migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 about a month ago.
Seems I found a KB article that addressed this.
I'm sure there's a way to change the default port of 379 for Exchange 2003...not...
Removing the last Exchange 5.5 server from my Exchange 2003 organization. I'm going through Exchange 5.5 Administrator, connected to the Exchange 2003 box, then selecting the 5.5 server and deleting. Upon confirmation of deletion, I get a warning message stating there are still 197 mailboxes...
