Hello,
We are currently having the following setup:
- Parent domain: domain.com (Head Office),
child domain: sub.domain.com (Branch site)
- Exchange 2007 and 2010 coexisted in the parent domain, currently in process of transitioning to 2010.
- All the users in the sub.domain.com are having mailboxes in the Exchange 2007 in the Parent domain with SMTP domain name: @sub.domain.com.
1- We need to install Exchange 2010 in the sub.domain.com, so that users will have their mailboxes in the sub domain, how to start it?
2- And can we move the mailboxes from the parent to child domain. I need the best practice to do this.
3- If we installed Exchange 2010 in the sub domain, and change the route for sub.domin.com SMTP traffic to the child Exchange server, how will exchange process the email if the mailbox still remains in the parent site? Do we need to create a send connector to forward the mails to the parent site if the mailbox still remains there?
4- One more thing, the sub.domain.com users are having two e-mail address policies; the @sub.domain.com policy and the default policy which is @domain.com , I have tried to remove the second policy, but it is not editable.
Thanks in advance.
