lol ok so migrated some accounts from exchange 2003 to hosted 2010 with intermedia everything went pretty well, but then have some problems - users address books or something contain old x.400 (or 500? I don't know) names, and so when outlook autocompletes internal addresses, users get undeliverables (ie, trying to deliver to old server's x400 address) so, intermedia offered to import my x.500 addresses if I could provide a list of them. which is swell, but I can't figure out a time efficient way to export a list of mailboxes along with proxy addresses from my old sbs2003 server. anyone a better exchange admin than me? I could just type them by hand by opening active directory users and computers, but... naw.

goddamn well hopefully intermedia will just add my x400 addresses to their exchange setup, and it'll be fine? (maybe?) would this not work in a normal exchange 2003 to 20xx migration?

adaz posted:Largely depends on your requirements and who you go with in my experience talking to people about it. We're moving to BPOS (or whatever microsoft renamed it) q3 for about 17,000 users and it's honestly going to save us a fortune. Unfortunately, the amount of stuff that kind of doesn't work/outright broken is high, and the admin tools still need improvement. Lots of improvement. ok, how the gently caress does this work this seriously bugged the everliving poo poo out of me - every hosted exchange provider I researched, their migration process was pretty much 'export and upload .pst files from individual users computers' which is COMPLETELY ridiculous to me. I mean the time I spent on just 8 users, jesus loving christ. how does this work when you have 17,000 goddamn users? noone would give me a straight answer when I asked pretty much the same question - like "ok, what if I had more than 8 users...?" I just can't imagine a hosted exchange company existing without having developed some foolproof nice clean way to migrate accounts en bulk from AD/Exchange to their bullshit cloud solution, but apparently they all haven't developed this capability and everyone buys their poo poo anyways argh

this seems like a dumb question, but I've been stumped on it for so long I guess I figure I should just ask someone else. is there a way to move outlook profiles between computers? like, the views, accounts, signatures, everything? bonus points, with redirected folders on a domain network, is there a way to have profile data sit on a network drive? I have a large network, where ideally I'd like a user to be able to sit down at any machine, maybe having never even logged on to that machine before, and get the same environment - outlook profile included. probably a pipe dream though.

See here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/where-does-microsoft-outlook-2010-save-my-information-and-configurations-HP010354943.aspx my understanding of roaming profiles though, is that things like mail accounts and (windows explorer) folder view settings, et cetera don't roam. am I just wrong about this? even if the psts were on a shared drive, a support person would have to recreate the profile, direct it to the pst, and so on.

Nevergirls posted:Well first of all if you're on exchange why are you using PSTs. Secondly, I'm not sure about roaming profiles, but I am talking about folder redirection. So what you would do is have the Outlook profile set up automatically via GPO, and then once that's done all the other settings listed in the above link should Just Work. Sorry, I'm just confusing myself and others. My first question was about migrating mail profiles on random computers not using domains or exchange. But then my second question was about mail profiles on exchange domains. so whoops again. but anyways, re: the second question, you're right about using group policy, I've just never done it. I'll research a bit and do it that way. thanks!
