I'm going to be restructuring the domains in our company, and in the process, going form win2k to win2k3 AD. I currently have Exchange 2000 deployed in 3 different domains that operate independantly of each other. As part of the 2k3 migration, I need to move these servers to the new domain, and would like to upgrade them to Exchagne 2k3 at the same time.
Changing the domain name on an E2k server is not supported, nor could I make it work. I could upgrade the E2k server's in place, but then how do I get the databases to mount in a new domain? I've tried this in a lab and not had much success due to the change in Administrative Group name and Org name.
I prefer not to do an EXMerge move between the mail servers, as this will significantly increase the size of my databases, which are already large. Is there anyone here that can help me with ideas, or alternatives to pursue?
Is there perhaps a 3rd party product that could help?
Thanks in advance for any help.
