Exchange 5.5 to 2003 migration - mailboxes remain

[jrwinterburn]

Hi - I'm trying to move users from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 on two different servers. I'm using the Exchange Move Mailbox feature in exchange tasks. The mailbox moves to the new Exchange 2003 server, but it also remains on the 5.5. Users can access their mailbox, however, when i delete it on the 5.5 server they can no longer access.

Why does it remain on the 5.5 server and how can i move the mailbox off of the 5.5 server?

Thanks

Jon

Are the servers available in both Ex5.5 Admin and Ex2003 ESM? Are they both in the same site / admin group?

Anything in the event log?

Yes, both servers can be seen from both admin tools. All mailboxes have moved with no errors or warnings, and yet they still remain visible in Exchange 5.5. There are plenty of event logs but no errors or warnings except one which occurs with each mailbox move, but which Microsoft say is normal during mailbox moving (event id 1151 -
