XADM: Move Server dialog box is misleading

ID: Q196419

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you move a server with a distribution list (DL) named Object1 to a site which contains a mailbox with the same name, Object1, an "Edit Duplicate" dialog box is displayed, which offers you the opportunity to rename the DL that is being moved.

The anomaly is that even though Object1 in the destination site is a mailbox, the dialog box refers to it as a DL, which may cause you to make a decision based on the assumption that the object in the destination site is a DL.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Move Server component of Exchange Server version 5.5.
