Q: What is Transition in Exchange Server 2007?

Transition is the scenario in which you upgrade an existing Exchange organization
to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. To perform the transition, you must move
data from the existing Exchange servers to new Exchange 2007 servers. For
example, when upgrading from an Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server
organization to an Exchange 2007 organization, you perform a transition. When
transitioning to Exchange 2007, you cannot perform an in-place server upgrade on
an existing Exchange server. Instead, you must install a new Exchange 2007 server
into the existing organization, and then move data to the new Exchange 2007
server.
Q: What is Migration in Exchange Server 2007?
Migration is the scenario in which you upgrade to Exchange 2007 by migrating
data from a non-Exchange messaging system to Exchange 2007 or from an
existing Exchange organization to a completely new Exchange organization,
without retaining any of the Exchange conguration data in the rst organization.
For example, when merging with another company, you can perform a migration.
In this scenario, you move mailboxes and data to the other companys
Exchange organization, without retaining any of the conguration data from your
existing Exchange organization. Another example is when upgrading from Lotus
Notes to Exchange 2007, you perform a migration. In this scenario, you must
move mailboxes and data to the new Exchange 2007 organization, without
retaining any of the data from the Lotus Notes organization.The migration process
includes installing a completely new Exchange 2007 organization, and then
migrating mailboxes from the old messaging system to the new Exchange 2007
messaging system, using various tools for migration.
