SBS 2003 and migrating to Exchange 2007 Part 3



Posted by: Roger Crawford
Microsoft Windows, Exchange, SBS

What a week I had and I finally got to start the migration of a SBS2003 server to Exchange 2007 SP1 and 2008 Servers. We started the move using the Exchange 2007 Console at 5 PM after doing a couple of different types of backups. One of the complete SBS 2003 Server and one of the Information store. We finally got all the email moved by 4:30 in the morning to the Exchange 2007 Server. Took the box down and moved it to the other office and brought the server up and OWA and ActiveSync and email was working and flowing. We also had the Windows Mobile Phones connect up with no issues and the ones running Blackberries had no problems also after we changed that server to point to the new server. What we have run into is a Palm OS Phone not syncing. More on that this week when we find the fix tomorrow. But the migration was a snap just like you would with a Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 transition.

I have yet to move the Public folders and remove the Exchange 2003 off the SBS box but we are getting there. I was impressed with the ease of the bring in the new Exchange 2007 server and connecting to the SBS 2003 Server. But more on this move as we go and the fix for the Palm OS phone.

Til Later just Roger
