Hello,

 

This is my first post to this community. Before registering I found a lot of good articles so I decided this would be the best place to ask my questions.

 

As you can read from the subject-line I have got a (to me) exciting task ahead. Recently my company bought another one and now we need to merge both SBS servers.

 

We have bought ourselves a new server with more RAMs and Gbs. I also did a new install with the new domainname on this new server. But now...I've recently achieved my MCSE:Messaging (thanks to Cisco Unity) status, but I lack the experience :| since our company was fairly small and IT management was not the most important thing.

 

Anyways; I was wondering what would be the most smartest thing to do. Using the ExMerge tool to "copy" all the mailboxes from the different servers to the new one?

 

A few pointers would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your reply. I already tested the email part (to .pst files --> import .pst files).

This works just fine.

 

But, the company we bought uses the Sharepoint environment pretty intense. How would I transfer this to the new server?

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Hi Thijs,

 

That totally depends on what exactly you are going to do. If you are installing a completely new domain, you would need stsadm to restore.
