White paper - Migrating mailboxes from Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

One of the most important aspects of migrating from one server to another is preserving mailbox information and other data. The Migration Wizard, which is a component of both Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 2 (SP2), has all of the mailbox migration capabilities of earlier versions and the additional capacity to migrate from one Exchange organization to another. This white paper describes the Exchange 2000 SP1 and Exchange 2000 SP2 versions of the Migration Wizard, provides methods and tips for using the two service packs, and describes common migration strategies.
