We are just looking at migrating users to Exchange 2007 in the same org as 2003. EV 6.5 is already in place (oh joy) which we also have to move (to a new location and platform) and obviosuly hook up to Exchange 2007.
 
I'm actually thinkin of just taking the easy way out, new EV server with no logical connectivity to the existing server and following these steps:
 
Export Archive to PST
Move mailbox to Exchange 2007
Import pst back in.
 
And as for the journal, once the migration is complete just close it off and restore onto the new server as a locked archive.
 
Sounds to easy tho, anything i've missed?

There is a new document that is available which is a technical whitepaper called Managing Exchange Migrations using enterprise vault but I cannot find a link on th external website for it and cannot attach the file here so either let me know your e-mail address and I can send it to you or raise a case with support requesting this document

Hi

 

I think you can take the following doc:

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/285651.htm

or this one:

 

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/284956.htm

 

As for your thing with export..

Be aware that all Shortcuts currently relying in the mailbox would not work anymore when doing export/import.

 

If you wish to have this facility, we may have a product for you called Archive Shuttle. (www.evtools.net)

 

Cheers

Michel

but I couldn't find the newest one from Symantec neither... :(

 

Cheers
