Remove Internet connectors on the Source Server
E-mail is automatically enabled between the Source Server and the Destination Server when Windows SBS 2008 is installed in Migration Mode. When you remove the Internet send connector from the Source Server, the Destination Server becomes responsible for inbound and outbound Internet e-mail.
Important
Before you remove the Exchange Server Internet connectors from the Source Server, ensure that you ran the Internet Address Management Wizard on the Destination Server. This is a required task in the Migration Wizard. The Internet Address Management Wizard creates Internet send and receive connectors on the Destination Server.
