RE: Split Mixed Exchange organisation
Hi,
Did some tests, it seems that even in running in a mixed E2k3 and E5.5 org
by splitting off the sites that do not have e2k3 introduced to them yet, you
can create a seperate org as part of another forest. We went from a mixed org
to two independant e2k3 orgs.
What may still be usefull is if anyone has seen a document on very detailed
technical behaviour that an E2k3 server does when installed into a 5.5 site,
the interactions etc.?
Rgds,
