Organization Name   

We are performing an Inter-Organizational migration from 5.5 to 2003. Is 
there any reason why the new org cannot have the same name as the old one ? I 
have seen a poost saying that exprofre will not work if the two are the same, 
but would like confirmation of that, and whether there are any other 
considerations.

Thanks

Re: Organization Name   

Depends what tools you are using for your migration... for example if you 
are using the ADC for Inter-org sync I believe that requires the 
organisation names to be different. Other 3rd party tools may not care... 
not sure about exprofre I'm afraid.

Thanks Tim. I believe the plan is to use MIIS for synchronization during the 
migration period.

Re: Organization Name   

You should check out the tools from www.priasoft.com.  They support
this.

Well, I'm not 100% as I've never tried it, but I would imagine that the way 
MIIS (or IIFP) do GAL-synch, and the way that routing uses legacyExchangeDN 
values, that you're going to run into trouble if the canonical names have 
the same base DN (if that makes any sense). i.e. if both orgs start 
o=<yourExchangeorgname> then you're going to run into difficulties... of 
course you can change the dns usiung legacydn.exe, but you're adding another 
level of 'things that can and will go wrong'

Your call of course, but if I was doing an Interorg migration, I'd make the 
orgname different... or at least test it extensively in a lab environment 
before making the choice...
