Migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007

Exchange Migration Wizard

Quest Exchange Migration Wizard is an award-winning migration and coexistence application for transitioning Exchange 5.5-based environments to new or existing Exchange 2003/2007 environments.

NEW!!  Exchange Migration Wizard the only solution to migrate you directly to Exchange Server 2007 with true coexistence through synchronization and ZeroIMPACT to end users.

The product performs a gradual, unattended migration with a special focus on real-time synchronization for true coexistence during the transition period. Exchange Migration Wizard has been engineered to address the challenges of migrating huge amounts of messaging data with ZeroIMPACT™ on resources and users.

Preserving Offline Folders for Inter-Org Migrations

Exchange Migration Wizard features Remote Users Collection, which allows for even more transparent migration for remote and laptop users. These users typically work with the local offline folders (OST) file and occasionally connect to their Exchange mailboxes over slow links such as dial-up to synchronize mail.

Remote Users Collection automatically migrates and switches the mailbox in a way that allows a user to keep the existing OST file after connecting to a new Exchange 2003 or 2007 mailbox. The Exchange Migration Wizard Profile Update Utility that ships with Exchange Migration Wizard is aware of the Remote Users Collections and finalizes the migration to ensure no offline content is lost.

ZeroIMPACT on Users and the Help Desk

Exchange Migration Wizard enables you to automate the updating of Outlook client profiles without any user effort. This feature makes the final step of the migration invisible to users, which in turn means they’ll need no assistance from the help desk.

Uninterrupted User Messaging and Collaboration

Exchange Migration Wizard enables the Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2003/2007 environments to coexist during the transition. Users will continue to exchange messages, view calendars and access synchronized public folders, regardless of the location of their mailbox.

Simplified Administration

Two-way, real-time synchronization of administrative changes means you only need to make changes once. Exchange Migration Wizard automatically updates the other environment, saving you time and increasing directory accuracy.

On-the-Fly Reconfiguration and Shorter Migration

Typical deployment of Exchange 2003/2007 requires reconfiguration. Exchange Migration Wizard can reconfigure the Exchange environment during the transition by uniting Exchange organizations, or merging or splitting servers and sites. Tasks can be executed in parallel, which shortens the time to move data and allows the new environment to operate in native mode from day one.

Lower Costs and Reduce Overhead

Consolidate Exchange 5.5 servers to fewer, more scalable Exchange 2003/2007 servers using less software licenses, hardware leases and administrative overhead. Costs are reduced due to shorter migrations, the scheduling and automating of tasks and the ability to track the progress of the migration. Most importantly, true coexistence eliminates productivity losses due to interrupted workflow.

Exchange Migration Wizard is available as a stand-alone solution or as part of Quest Migration Suite for Exchange. The Migration Suite also includes MessageStats, which offers comprehensive pre- and post-migration analysis and reporting ensuring a successful migration.
