Greetings ... Wanted to get a quick show of hands about the direction for our team at work which is trying to design the collapse of disparate AD forests (each with their own disparate Exchange orgs) into one, new forest and new Exchange organization. There is some discussion/debate between two camps about what should happen when: In the first camp is a group of folks who want to migrate just the mailboxes (using Quest's Migration Manager for Exchange) into the new forest--essentially using the forest as an Exchange resource forest. At a later date, perform the AD principal and BackOffice (as Quest calls it--the file servers, the SQL servers, etc.) migration. This of necessity uses and keeps in place a trust between the source forest and the target forest until the migration is complete. In the second camp there are those who want to perform the AD and Exchange migrations in parallel (of necessity, AD user accounts migrated first followed in its heels by Exchange data migration). What are you opinions on these two scenarios? Which would you do first, last, etc.? Thanks! Fred Woodbridge
