Troubleshooting Lab

In this lab, you will attempt to use the Migration Wizard to migrate mailboxes from Server01 to Server02 in the Litware, Inc. organization. The procedure will fail because the wizard can only migrate between organizations, not within an organization. You will then use the Active Directory Users And Computers console to move the mailboxes.

Before proceeding with this lab, you must have the system requirements as outlined at the beginning of this chapter.

Exercise 1: Attempt to Migrate Mailboxes with the Migration Wizard

1. On Server02, start the Migration Wizard. From the Start menu, point to All Programs, Microsoft Exchange, and Deployment, and then click Migration Wizard.

2. Click Next to bypass the Welcome page.

3. Select to Migrate From Microsoft Exchange and click Next.

4. Click Next on the following page, which advises you about migrating from another Exchange Server organization.

5. On the Migration Destination page, note that the information for Server02 is automatically filled in. Click Next.

6. On the Source Exchange Server page, type Server01:1389 and enter the Administrator account information. Click Next.

7. Note the error, "Unable to perform the migration. Please enter a source Exchange server outside of the target Exchange organization." Quit the Migration Wizard.

Exercise 2: Migrate Mailboxes with Active Directory Users And Computers

1. Open the Active Directory Users And Computers console on Server01.

2. Click the Users container to see a list of user accounts.

3. Highlight to select Amy Alberts, Chris Meyer, and Eli Bowen. Right-click Eli Bowen and click Exchange Tasks.

4. Select Move Mailbox from the list of Exchange Tasks, and click Next.
