| Event Information | According to Microsoft:
This article describes the Microsoft Exchange Migration Wizard that you can use to migrate mailboxes from Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 2003.
This article uses the term "Exchange migration" to describe the process of migrating mailboxes from one Exchange-based computer to an Exchange-based computer in a different organization by using the Exchange Server Migration Wizard or its command-line equivalent. This migration process is actually a copy process, where the source mailbox object is not deleted or changed in any way by the migration process.
The Exchange Server Migration Wizard is designed to migrate mailboxes between separate Exchange organizations, and not in the same organization. The exception to this is the option to migrate mailboxes to personal storage (.pst) files instead of to an Exchange-based computer. However, it is more common to use the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge program (Exmerge.exe) for this purpose. The option to migrate from cc:Mail, MSMail, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Notes and other programs has always been present in the Exchange 2000 Migration Wizard. The option to migrate mailboxes from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server first became available with Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Exchange 2000 Server. The option to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2000 Server to Exchange 2000 Server first became available with Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Exchange 2000 Server. |
