All,
I have nearly finished my migration from Exchange 5.5 to 2003 and just wanted to confirm a couple of things before i go ahead?
I currently have the following place:
Exchange 5.5 (NT4 - BDC [mydomain.co.uk]) Public Folders (replicated)
Exchange 2003 (W2K Adv Srv - Member [mydomain.co.uk]) Mailboxes & Public Folders (replicated)
DC01 (mixed mode - mydomain.co.uk)
DC02 (Navite mode - groups.mydomain.co.uk) - Holds DLs for public folders
All mailboxes have now been moved from my Exchagne 5.5 server to my new Exchage 2003 server, Public folders are replication via an ADC conector. Also my distribution lists are replicated to my groups.mydomain.co.uk domain to I my users can still see public folders.
What I am planning to do to finish my migration is todo the following?
1) Uninstall Exchage 5.5
2) Delete active directory connection agreements with ADC connector
3) Delete Site Replication Services within Exchange 2003
4) Switch to Native Mode (Exchange 2003)
5) Switch off my old Exchange 5.5 server which is the last NT4 BDC in our domain
6) Switch to Native mode on AD
7) Move Distributions Lists back from groups.mydomain.co.uk to mydomain.co.uk
8) run DCpromo on groups.mydomain.co.uk and remove my domain.
What my queiry is?, is when i uninstall Exchange 5.5, will any of my Public folders disappear when they try and syncornise with exchange 5.5?
Any help would be great, or any of tips of how I should finish my migration?
Many Thanks
James
