Managing Co-existence During Exchange 2010 Migration

As discussed in the previous post, Microsoft provide a Deployment assistant that now has been updated to include Migration from Ex2007, Ex2003 and new deployment of Ex2010.

One of the issues faced during the co-existence of 2007-2010 is how you manage each of the systems. The 2007 Management console won't manage most of the pertinent tasks on 2010.

There is some information available on the net. Thus far I have found this article from the exchange team outlining the tasks and where they can be completed.

I would also like to point out that 2010 does not come in a 32bit flavour so ensure you have a 64bit version of Vista or Win 7 if you would like to manage exchange from your local pc.
