Exchange 2000 / 2003 – 1 User, 2 Email Addresses, 2 Mailbox’s
KB ID 0000086 Problem The title may be a little misleading 🙂 1 user cannot have 2 mailbox’s (NOTE a user can have many email addresses but only 1 of those addresses is the PRIMARY address so if he/she sends some mail the primary address will be the SENT FROM address for a SINGLE mailbox).

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Transition “Swing Migration”
KB ID 0000234 Problem Before we start, I’m aware “Migration”, “Swing Migration”, and “Transition” have three very different meanings, depending on which KB, blog or piece of Microsoft documentation you are reading.
