Exchange 5.5 Export/Import?   

Hi All

I have a requirement to mirror a production exchange 5.5 environment
in a test environment prior to some upgrade testing. We want all the
directory information but none of the mailbox data. Could I just
export it from production using the admin import/export tool and then
import it?

What is the easiest way to do this?

I have thought about restoring the directory from tape too but server
names/org etc. need to be the same.

Thanks

AJ

I would do this with header.exe. Its an old import/export utility from
the 5.5 days.
Not sure if its even still around.
