Hello,
I am planning an Exchange server migration from 2007 to 2010. I understand that mailbox database names need to be unique to the entire organization in Exchange 2010. My question is this: When I am setting up my Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server, is it best practice to create the new mailbox databases with the same name as the Exchange 2007 mailbox databases? Or should I give the new 2010 databases an entirely new name?
For example: Exchange 2007 mailbox database name = "Mailbox Database" - should I setup Exchange 2010 with a matching mailbox database named "Mailbox Database"? Should it be different, the same, or does it matter?
