Exchange 2003 -> 2010 Migration powered by SourceOne?
Wondering what challenges we would face in migrating a customer's Exchange 2003 to 2010 if we used SourceOne to archive the 2003 environment first. Is there maybe a good white paper on PowerLink?
Follow-on question... Assuming that it's a good idea to archive 2003 first, I'll throw this into the mix... The Exchange environment will be moving to a different data center as part of this move. i.e. The network location of the archive (stored on NAS) will likely change, as will possibly the SQL server, and the archiving service, etc.
Your insights appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

There are no risks associated with archiving messages on 2003 prior to deploying Exchange 2010. There are advantages to installing SourceOne prior to your migration. The biggest advantage is going to be through reducing the size of the Exchange 2003 environment by leveraging SourceOne's storage management capabiliites. Less data to migrate, means a faster and less complex Exchange migration.
There are white papers on PowerLink that discuss the advantages of SourceOne with Exchange
