Setting Up Journaling in a Mixed Exchange 2003-Exchange 2007/2010
Environment

If you are migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 or 2010, you can use
a mixed journaling environment during the time you have users on both types of
servers.

If you are interested in setting up journaling in an environment that includes both
Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 or 2010 servers, consult the following
information from Microsoft:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997918.aspx

In addition to the recommendations from Microsoft, we offer the following
guidelines to ensure that your Exchange journaling environment is fully
compatible with Message Archiving:

1.

Route mail coming from the internet to an Exchange 2003 server first.

Why? Having Exchange 2003 process the messages first cuts down on
creating duplicate journal reports.

Note: If you use Postini for inbound mail, use the Exchange 2003 server as
the inbound server, or create two email configs and distinguish between
Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 or 2010 users if required.

2.

Place the journal recipient on the Exchange 2003 server only until all users
have been moved to Exchange 2007 or 2010. Do not split the traffic between
Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 or 2010 journal recipients.

Why? This is a best practice from Microsoft as there are pitfalls with locating
the journal user on Exchange 2007 or 2010 in a mixed environment.

3.

Use only standard journaling during the migration from Exchange 2003 to
Exchange 2007 or 2010.

Why? There is a problem with duplication issues when using premium
journaling in this configuration. All mail sent from Exchange 2003 users to
Exchange 2007 or 2010 users is duplicated.

Note: This problem is amplified when Exchange 2007 or 2010 is the initial
server to receive external mail.

journaling:
