Resolution

goal
Will Exchange Migrator (EM) merge an Exchange 5.5 Distribution List (DL) with a manually created target Active Directory (AD) Global Security Group that share a common name?

fact
Exchange Migrator 1.x

fact
Exchange Migrator 2x

fix
Exchange 5.5 DLs do not have a sid, nor a samAccountName, therefore the merge options of sid history or samAccountName are not available. For Exchange Migrator to successfully merge an Exchange 5.5 DL to a target group they must have a common SMTP address. Without common SMTP addresses Exchange Migrator will create a new object in AD.
