I am wondering whether anyone has been able to try the
following:
I need to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to 2000. Because user
accounts are being migrated from a Novell 4.11 server,
using the Active Directory Connector will result in
duplicate accounts, which I don't want. I have thought
about using the Exchange 2000 Migration Wizard to export
mailboxes to PST files, then manually importing each
mailbox individually into Exchange 2000 mailboxes;
however, doing such would be tedious. What I was
wondering whether I could install Exchange 5.5 on a
Windows 2000 member server in an Active Directory domain,
restore the information store from a backup tape, change
the mailbox accounts to Active Directory user accounts
prior to migrating from this environment to Windows 2000.
I want to try to avoid having to modify pre-existing
accounts, which are being migrated from the Novell primary
file and print server.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
