Hi
We have 40 forms on Exchange 5.5 (holiday, sickness, etc) and I need to move them to Exchange 2003. Is this an easy port or are there some serious issues I need to be aware of

Can anyone provide me with a link to a document about using Organisational forms on Exchange 2003

Thanks
Churchill.

I don't know a lot about how system folders can be migrated -- you might ask
on the microsoft.public.exchange.admin newsgroup. One solution is to install
the new server, then set up replication for the Organizational Forms library
system folder betwen the 5.5 server and the 2003 server (assuming that can
be done -- as I said, I'm not an Exchange admin). Another solution would be
to save each of the forms as a .fdm file using the Forms Manager dialog in
Outlook, then use that same dialog to install them again on the new server.
For safekeeping, you should also make .oft backup copies of each form.
