5 existing site domains into one common forest with multiple domains and includes consolidation of various MS Exchange Server implementations
Hi I have 5 offices which each are located in 5 different physical locations, all have seperate Exchange Servers, Domain Servers.
Management wants to "merge" these 5 seperate entities into 1 common forest with multiple domains, and basically consolidate the Exchange Environments and Active Direectory
Im just not sure where to start with this, are there technotes how to begin with this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I recommend you first practice the migration procedure in a virtual machines:
1. Build a test environment.
2. Define which forest you want to keep. Plan the domains or AD sites you want to have.
3. Migrate the user objects with mailbox from other forests to this forest.
4. Install exchange servers such as CAS,Hub and Mailbox servers in the other domains or AD sites.
5. Move the user mailboxes to the mailbox servers in their AD site
