The week of HELL

I’m single-handedly moving everyone this week in my company from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000.

I’ll be cranky and busy.

I’ll gladle accept naked pictures of cute people for moral support.

  1. whoa, last time we talked you were using something else….ugh…i assume you archive mail on the server instead of desktops 🙁

    good luck.

  2. Oh, yeah email has been synching, but this week I make the final synch and ‘switch’ the mailboxes so the 2000 side goes live. I’ll be doing this for batches of people at a time, but there are about 1500 users to do, gotta do it in the middle of the night cause mail has to be at low volume.

    Not hard, but tedious – I could trust the automatic process, but it’s not perfect, I need to watch it like a 3-year-old.

  3. exchange is like a 3 year old in a room full of knives, expensive things, hand guns and unprotected electrical sockets.

  4. Actually, the Aelita “Exchange Migration Wizard” Toolset was the 3-year-old I was referring to, but yes, you’re right.
