Hello,
Transition from Exchange 2003 server 2010 has been done and currently all mailboxes and PF are on 2010 server.
Only thing remaining is the smart host change and then decommission of Exchange 2003 server.
Below is our current mail flow:
Internet > Ironport > Exchange 2003 > Exchange 2010
I want to know how to accomplish below?
1) Will be changing smart host from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 on connector as well as Ironport. Doing this will bypass Exchange 2003 server and it will not be in picture anymore.
So it will be like;
Change To:
Internet > Ironport (configure it to point to Exchange 2010) > Exchange2010 (Change smart host as Ironport and Configure
Send connector)
But what will happen to the applications/computer which are having Exchange 2003 server name/IP in thier application. If Exchang2003 is removed as stated above in the mail flow, then how will those application/computer recieve emails from Exchange 2010 server
An example;
--> In vCenter Server, we give Exchange server IP as SMTP server. Now if above change is done, still vCenter server will point to Exchange 2003 server only.
I have also taken out the report of all IPs that have communicated to Exchange 2003 in past 2 years.
Hope I am able to explain the situation.
Requesting your help how to achieve this
Thanks,
Mihir
