Hi

I need to plan an exchange migration for a customer and require some advice. They currently have 2 AD forests. I need to install a new exchange 2003 server in the main forest, then transfer all user logins and exchange mailboxes from the 2nd forest so that everything is under one forest. What is the easiest way of achieving this with the least amount of user disruption?

Hi has anyone any ideas for this please?

Using ADMT to migrate user and computer accounts, and Exchange Migration Wizard to migrate mailboxes. Suggest using exmerge to reduce mailboxes size before mailboxes migration.
