Move Exchange 2003 off DC to new forest.

Here's the situation.
We have a Exchange server that was setup as a AD domain controller several
years ago (Exchange 2000/Server 2000) for a small number (5) of Blackberry
users. Both Exchange and Server 2000 were upgraded to Exchange 2003 and
server 2003 a few years ago. The Exchange domain is also in a different
forest from our normal logon domain.

Now we are planning to greatly expand the number of Exchange users but
before we do I want to move Exchange off of the it's current domain/forest
and move it to a member server on our normal domain (different forest).

What I'm looking for is the least painful method of doing this.

Thanks
Bill

Leif,

Thanks for the response, but I don't think I can use that procedure, the new
server is going to be a member server in a different domain.

Hi,

Then you can use the migration manager - part of a normal exchange
installation.
