Our server is dying, and i have built a new one, installed
Win2k Server, AD, Exchange server.

I brought over the MDBDATA and mounted the store in
exchange manager, everything went fine.

Now, i need to import the AD users from the old server,
and map them all to the corresponding mailboxes.

Anyone?
 
Did you make this machine just a member server? You could always just
Dcpromo this machine and join it as another DC to the existing domain and
thne seize the FSMO roles and then Dcpromo the old box down and the new
machine will have the Active Directory and you should be good. But what I
think you are saying is that you created a whole new domain? If that is the
case you can use the Active Directory Migration Tool to import the users
from the old domain but I am not sure why you did this unless the old
machine is completely dead?? It would have been much less tim consuming and
more accurate to do the first thing above.
