    http://www.microsoft.com/exchange

  2. Under Technical Information, click Deployment and Migration.

There are three significant Move Server Wizard releases:
  • The first release is post-Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1, and enables Move Server Wizard to move any Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 computer.
  • A re-release of Move Server Wizard is included in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2, and this release can move both Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 and Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2 computers.
  • Because of the changes to the database schema in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3, a new release of Move Server Wizard is necessary for Service Pack 3. The Service Pack 3 release can move Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 computers.
IMPORTANT: Microsoft strongly encourages you to read all of the documentation for Move Server Wizard before you begin the move process. The Move Server Wizard uses a process that includes pre-move and post-move tasks that you need to perform, and the process requires that you plan carefully. Move Server Wizard documentation is available in either Rich Text Format (RTF) or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format in the Movesrvr folder.
