XFOR: cc:Mail DB8 Migration Creates Randomized Password (169536)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q169536 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Exchange Migration Wizard to migrate cc:Mail users to
Exchange Server, the Exchange Migration Wizard sets the users old cc:Mail
postoffice passwords to random strings and stores them in the password
list. The password list will show the current passwords.
CAUSE
The Exchange Migration Wizard selects the randomized passwords by design.
This is to prevent users from continuing to use their old cc:Mail accounts.
It is unlikely that users will ever need their cc:Mail accounts again.
In the event of some sort of migration failure, along with a failure
in the original backup of the cc:Mail postoffice, the password list will
serve as the key to getting back into the mailboxes. If users need their
old cc:Mail accounts, an administrator can look up the cc:Mail passwords in
the password list.
