Transition to Exchange2007 from Exchange2000

[JohnD401]

Transition is the scenario in which you upgrade an existing Exchange organization to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. To perform the transition, you must move data from the existing Exchange servers to new Exchange 2007 servers. For example, when upgrading from an Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server organization to an Exchange 2007 organization, you perform a transition.


My question is does anyone know if there a way to first test the transition on a test server? Maybe even using virtual server and one of the VHDs Microsoft has released?

Exactly that. Get the VMware virtualiser and virtualise your live Exchange server. Then get the 2007 VM from MS and do a VM test migration.
