ADC connector

is the active directory connector installed by default for exchange 5.5 and
windows 2003. I know you have to manually set it up for exchange 5.5 and
exchange 2003

The ADC is only used to replicate Email attributes between an Exchange 5.5
Directory and a Windows 2000 or 2003 Active Directory.
The ADC is only needed to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 or
Exchange 2003.

The ADC must be manually installed and Connection agreements for Recipients
and Public Folders must be configured.
For migrations to Exchange 2000 see: Q316886 and Q296260

For migrations to Exchange 2003 you can use the Deployment Tools and ADC
Tools to configure your connection agreements.

What if you are moving from NT to AD on 2K3 and want to keep your 5.5 org
until down the road. you will need the ADC in that case, right? also, do
you want the ADC running before or after you migrate users from NT to AD?

Thanks

Yes, you can let ADC create the user objects in AD.

Thanks Rand,

I guess I am still a little confused on how the 5.5 server knows which user
objects the mailbox belongs to. If I use the ADMT and bring over the users
and their sids, does that automatically make the exchange oganization know
that the migrated AD users have rights to the already existing 5.5 mailboxes?
If so great, but I guess that's where I thought the ADC came in in a non
mail migration scenario. We will be migrating to EX2k3 some time but I can't
say if it will be a month or 6 months.

thanks again...

If you haven't done so already, download the 2003 deployment guide.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/depguide.mspx.
Then plan to test this before you implement it. Its not something to head
into blind. Test and document your procedures. The deployment guides have
some pretty good step by steps.

When you bring over the SID into a 2003 domain, it uses the sidhistory
attribute for rights assignments, so from a high level, the answer is yes,
it will know, but its not that easy. I strongly suggest you set it up in a
lab. If you don't have hardware, a couple of pc with some virtual machines
will work. Practice makes perfect. :-)

I read your article on FSMO roles and found that interesting. I have the
deployment guide handy and do have a test lab set up. I have the test users
already set with 5.5 mailboxes and have all perms set through a trust for
full admin rights on either domain. My next step is to run and ADMT and see
how the mail plays. Do you have any experience with this and know certain
prerequisites that need to be done beyond that to make this successful??

I do have some experience. Some good, some bad :-)
Follow this article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q260871/
A common mistake I've seen made numerous time (although it doesn't make
sense to me) when you create the group Source Domain$$$, that is actually
the NameOfTheSourceDomain$$$, not actually "Source Domain$$$".

Let me know how it works out.
