I am currently working on a project to migrate our GroupWise 7 email system to Exchange 2007 SP1. We are going to need to provide coexistence for a phased migration from GroupWise to Exchange. We have an Exchange 2003 server installed which was being used for voicemail accounts for our newly installed Cisco Unity system. We also have an Exchange 2007 SP1 server installed. The accounts for the voicemail boxes have been moved to the Exchange 2007 server. The voicemail accounts are configured to work with the user's email address. So the moved voicemail accounts are mail-enabled. We have Active Directory and Novell EDirectory running with Novell's Identity Manager product sychnronizing the two systems - we do not have the email provisioning feature activated. We will be using the Quest migration tool to migrate users but we need to provide coexistence among the email servers as well as provide the free/busy search capabilities. We have installed the following components so far to provide the coexistence: GroupWise API 4.1 SP2, Microsoft Connector for GroupWise, and Calendar Connector. The problem is in our ability to configure the Microsoft Connector for GroupWise appropriately before starting up the services. The instructions indicate that we need to have an import container selected (can be only one organizational unit) in order for the connector to place recipeint objects created for Novell GroupWise users. Also an export container needs to be assigned as well for exporting Exchange recipient objects to the Novell GroupWise directory. We are unsure what the results will be if we do this because of our current synchronization configurations - we have user accounts that are email enabled in AD as well as EDirectory that continue to get synchronized. Will this configuration produce duplicate accounts if we continue with the configuration? We have been unsuccessful in finding any assistance with this situation. Quest has informed us that they cannot help us because this coexistence must be configured before they can provide any type of support. Any ideas how we can get the proper support we need to move forward on this migration project? THANKS!
