Red Bull is expected to include a comprehensive revamp of Microsoft's mail migration tools, and includes an application and analysis analyzer and a recoded Exchange-Notes Connector, said one IT expert who declined to be identified. Red Bull began its trial run in late October 2005.


The expert said the new tools will have an improved performance monitor, and include support for HTML and the Unicode format. IT experts will be able to bring over old proxy addresses and SMTP addresses during a migration. "This had previously been a manual process and it was a pain," said the expert. "This is why a lot of people choose third-party tools."

Microsoft is also unveiling a Website devoted to collaboration that will give guidance to IT administrators who need help with their mail system migrations. The site is something of a one-stop shop to help administrators create a migration roadmap. It helps them develop transition plans, configure the tools and move the applications, the expert said.
