We have an old, failing Exchange 2003 server that's in a hosted environment that's on its way out (hardware wise).
We have a brand spanking new Exchange 2010 server in-house fresh and ready to go.
What is the best way to get all our mailboxes out of Exchange 2003 into Exchange 2010? There's no domain trust between them, but the 2010 box can access the 2003 box by Active Sync.
I'm expecting it will go:
- Recreate all the accounts on the 2010 Box
- Run
exmerge
on the 2003 box to export everyones mailboxes into individual.PST
files - From an Outlook client, connect to the mailbox in question and do an import of the
.PST
file - Repeat step 3 for each mailbox (there's about 15)
- Take the 2003 server and throw it on a bonfire (if it weren't hosted)
Is there a better way?
