Re: Question about server/organization migration
I guess I'm still a bit unsure. More explaination:
The recipients will all have email recipient@xyz.com.
Currently all of the users mailboxes reside on an Exchange server hosted by
another company. The MX record points to this Exchange Server.
We are setting up an Exchange server locally. As we migrate some of the
users will be on the new server (new AD, new Exchange Org, etc) and some
will still be on the hosted server. If the MX record points to our new
server, what will tell it to route the email back to the recipients who are
still on the hosted server?

Re: Question about server/organization migration
Lisa,
This scenario would be similar to companies merging Exchange Orgs since you
are creating a new AD but the only catch you still want to keep your
existing mail domain for both sites. The only solutions I can think of is
if the existing company would allow you to setup a dedicated connection to
your site and then install a second Exchange Server at your site. This
would allow for you to move the mailboxes when you are ready and still
receive mail for mailboxes on either server for your current mail domain.
Another option would be to create a new external mail domain then setup your
new Exchange Server for this domain. This is not the best solution but it
will work for the time being.

Re: Question about server/organization migration
Ok, I see now. Its a good question and I will give you my two cents but you
may post back to see if you get any other suggestions. Since your mail
domain is currently being hosted by another domain they would have to allow
