Hello,
I hope I am writing in the right place. I have this issue with moving about 100 mailboxes between two E2K SP2 servers inside the same organization, but placed in different Administrative Groups/Sites. The only way to do this right now seems to be exmerge. Does anyone know another way ?
Actually, you can move mailboxes between administrative groups even if you are not in the Exchange Native mode. The trick here is to move more than one mailbox at a time...

AFAIK this is only possible with Exchange 2003 SP1.
I have great respect for your inputs to this forum and your various writings - however, you are incorrect on this one. I have just accomplished this task on W2K SP4 running E2K SP3 on a member server in a domain. In the Exchange mixed mode, if you select only one mailbox to move, only your local site is "scoped" - but if you select multiple mailboxes to move, the entire organization is "scoped".
Yes sir - it is indeed a nice to know item! I have been fooling around with NT from the get go and have been heavily involved with Exchange since the first release. Keep stumbling over these "little un-documented things" that MS just taunts us with...

@Bill Brown
I have checked what you said. So, in my case, when I selected 2 users, I found out indeed that Exchange allows me to select a different administrative group. BUT, the operation fails. The error is (quote): "This mailbox cannot be moved to a different Exchange 2000 administrative group while in a mixed Exchange 5.5/Exchange 2000 Organization."
If you can be so kind as to tell me how you did the migration in a non-native environment, I would very much appreciate it.
It is very well possible I owe an appology to you guys and the list. If Dinu did not make this work - then it will not work. It was very late at night when we were doing this last migration and I distinctly remember that selecting one user to move scoped only the current admin site and that selecting more than one user would scope the entire organization.
I thought we were moving the users to a different site - but in retrospect, maybe we were not. I appologize for any inconvience that I may have caused!

Bill,
You were right about the scoping. When selecting more than 1 user, the wizzard presents you with all the servers/admin groups in the Exch. organization. BUT this does not mean it allows you to move the mailbox between administrative groups. All mailboxes selected generated an error.
