Excellent point.  Make sure you select the new Mail Store when going 
through Permissions Wizard too.

When you installed the new Exchange server, did you rerun the Unity
permissions wizard?   We had this problem where we had to run the unity
permissions wizard to "Prepare" that exchange server for use with Unity.

In the Unity SAWeb page for the subscribers you moved does it show the
updated information for their homeserver?  It sounds like Unity picked
up the change from AD but has not been able to connect to that Exchange
server.

Have you rebooted Unity since making the Exchange changes by any chance?

We've had our existing environment working with a single Exchange 2000
Server since our initial implementation about 2.5 years ago.  We have a
new project that is moving us to a new Exchange system with 2 servers
running in a Microsoft cluster (still Win2K, Exch2K), with the
Information Store being maintained on a HP MSA500 storage system.  To
make our transition as simple as possible, we added the new cluster to
our current Exchange domain.  We moved our I.T. folks to the new server
and mail works fine (after a couple routing tweaks).  When we left a
test message for me, the MWI never lit and the message never showed up
in my mailbox.  I could call into Unity, but got a message saying the
Exchange server was unavailable.  The messages were there and I could
still listen to them, but I could not do anything with them (I guess due
to the Exchange connection issue).  We are running Unified Messaging,
Unity 3.1 and CallManager 3.2.

Is there something in Unity that needs to be modified to tell it my
mailbox is now on a different server?  I'm sure there are large
installations that require multiple Exchange servers, so I feel
confident that Cisco has done this before.  For us, this is only
temporary and when everyone is moved and feels good about the change,
we'll remove the old Exchange box and run solely off the new cluster.

Any advice you could give us would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
