Resolution

Exchange Migrator (EM) 2.2 - 2.3, supports the following migration scenarios:

  1. Migrate between sites within an Exchange 5.5 organization.
  2. Migrate between Exchange 5.5 organizations.
  3. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 organization to an Exchange 2000 organization.
  4. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 server to an Exchange 2000 server in a different site within the same organization.
  5. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 server to an Exchange 2000 server within the same site.
  6. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 organization to an Exchange 2003 organization.
  7. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 server to an Exchange 2003 server in a different site within the same organization.
  8. Migrate from an Exchange 5.5 server to an Exchange 2003 server within the same site. 

Exchange Migrator 2.x does not support migrations from a source server running Exchange 2000 or later, however, Exchange Migrator can migrate from mixed Exchange sites or organizations as long as the source server is an Exchange 5.5 server.

In addition to the scenarios stated above Exchange Migrator 7.0 and later supports:

  1. Migrate from an Exchange 2000/2003 Organization to another Exchange 2000/2003 Organization
  2. Migrate from an Exchange 2000/2003 Organization to an Exchange 2007 Organization

Exchange Migrator 7.0 does not support migration from a source server running Exchange 2007.

Exchange Migrator 7.0 only supports migrating from Exchange 2000/2003 between different Exchange Organizations.
