Hi, Just asking if it was the same routine to connect mailboxes from backups across the two versions 2000/2003. For example create user with no default email and then reconnect after restore. Can I use the 2000 databases, copy them to default 2003 folder. Use ESEUTIL to rebuild and sync databases etc etc or is their another way?. Thanks in return
Forkifiting? yes you can do that but Microsoft Does not support fork lifting of exchange databases. If both of your servers belong to the same organization then I dont see any valid point in copying and pasting the database files to the new servers. You can simply use Exchange Tasks Wizard to move the mailboxes to the new server. -- Milind Naphade http://mnaphade.blogspot.com ""confused"" wrote: > Hi, > > Just asking if it was the same routine to connect mailboxes from backups > across the two versions 2000/2003. > > For example create user with no default email and then reconnect after > restore. > > Can I use the 2000 databases, copy them to default 2003 folder.
