Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration.. eventually

[PRicho]

Hi,

 

We have an old Exchange 2003 Server with only a handful of staff on as the rest are on 2010 along with the students. The address lists and recipient policies are still sat on 2003 using the old ldap filters and the OAB is still generated on 2003. The migration was started over a year ago but as it was co existing fine we never completed the migration.... until hopefully now. Re reading the migration steps worry me so I just wanted some advice with regards moving the remaining bits from 2003.

 

My main concern is how these changes with effect users still on 2003?

 

Recipient Policies - we have 2 in place staff and student which are simply if the custom attritute 1 is staff / student - can these simply be converted over using the following

 

Get-EmailAddressPolicy | where {$_.RecipientFilterType –eq “Legacy”} | 
Set-EmailAddressPolicy –IncludedRecipients AllRecipients

 

Address Books need updating to the newer OPATH filters - we have staff and student address books under "All Address Lists" and "All Global" the security set on the staff ones have deny list to students (might be a better way to do this?)

 

Set-AddressList “All Users” –IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers
Set-AddressList “All Groups” –IncludedRecipients Mailgroups
Set-AddressList “All Contacts” –IncludedRecipients MailContacts
Set-AddressList “Public  Folders” –RecipientFilter {RecipientType –eq “PublicFolder”}
Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' 
-or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass 
-eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group' 
-or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))}

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok so I upgraded the email address policies.. only to then find that I am still unable to edit them in the EMC because the legacy server exists - Funny how all the transition guides fail to mention this.

 

I think I now need to recreate the policies in EMS using the -RecipientFilter parameter with an OPATH string, Is anybody any to explain how to do that!

 

Cheers,
