I have a situation here. Need to export around 150GB (only priv.edb and stm) of database from exchange 2003 sitting in Europe. Users mail box size varies from 500MB to 10GB. I need to export the mailboxes and import it back in a brand new exchange 2010 server some where in Asia. There is no option for a proper migration and move mailbox. I am not willing to use exmerge because of 2GB limitations (dont want to create multiple pst's and speed of the extraction). Any other option , any third party utility will do ..Raj

An inter-organizational move request on the Exchange 2010 server. Or you could buy Quest Migration Manager if you want a third-party tool. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Check out Lucid8's DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp which would allow you to; Take a copy of the existing EDB/STM and send it on a portable device to Europe Open the EDB/STM pair with DigiScope Recover the desired data direct from the offline database into ANY production exchange server Here is a 7 minute flash demonstration for your review http://l8downloads.com/FLASH/DSWEB/DigiScope_Overview.html NOTE: You can download the product and obtain a 30-day DEMO license that will allow you to mount, browse and search through any OFFLINE EDB or Production Exchange Server and then purchase the appropriate license when you are ready NOTE2: DigiScope supports UNICODE PSTs up to 20GB each as well so if desired you can export to PST, transport the PST and then ingest, but the method above is more efficient since you can do the recovery is a single step vs export/import Troy Werelius www.Lucid8.com

Thanks a lot Troy .. will try this option.Raj
