Do you mean moving from a MSS to an Exchange store?

Yes,exactly Ken.
The customer is demanding e-mail notification into the main
Inbox.
They are ready to hang us over this even though it wasn't a concern during the original install.
They have a rule in Outlook that's working but aren't happy with that.
We are considering Mutare as well.
The customer will ultimately decide.
All of the sudden they will act like it's no big deal for us to intrude on there Outlook server.
oh well,that's show business.
Any input much appreciated.We are working with an Avaya engineer tomorrow on this.Just looking for real-world feedback.

I do not think there is a path from mss to exchange other thanstarting from 0 and do a fesh install. Do then network VM with other VM systems? If they do they will not be happy with the exchange backend

If not now they probably will.
They have multiple sites and plan on adding 4 more this year.
Maybe we can use that angle to talk them out of a conversion.
We basically have some jerk trying to save his butt here though,so the argument may be pointless.
Thanks for the feedback.
