Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration

[AngryITGuy]

Planned for this summer is a migration of our staff mail server from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.

I've found the following article which looks like it covers all aspects of the migration process Exchange 2003 to 2010 Transition "Swing Migration" I was just wondering if anyone who has already gone through this process has some advice or pointers for me about any potential pitfalls.

Cheers

Converting custom recipeint policies is a PITA if you have them, like if you have multiple domains. Public folders transfer is also a total mess so if you can drop them, do. The process seems reasonalby in depth and looks right.

This is the one i use, although there are a couple of mistakes.

in the 2008r2 section
Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic
should be
sc config NetTcpPortSharing start= auto

and near the end

Set-AddressList "PublicFolders" -RecipientFilter { RecipientType -eq 'PublicFolder' }
should read
Set-AddressList "Public Folders" -RecipientFilter { RecipientType -eq 'PublicFolder' }
