Default Created field (CreationTime Property) changed after migration

Hi,

I have a problem.
I have migrated Exchange mailboxes from one Windows 2000 / Exchange 2000
server to a Windows 2003 Small Business Server.
During the move of public folders I chose to just export the public folders
to a pst file and import on to the new server. This worked just fine, however
the "Created" field, when added now shows the time I imported the contact
objects instead of the correct Creation time of the object (the time the
object where created on the old server). This information if crucial for me
and I wonder is someone has a solution to it?

During my troubleshooting I've come up with this: The "Created" field
(column) is a read-only property (CreationTime Property) and cannot be
changed, at least not when it's live in the Exchange database. If I'd choose
to export the Contacts to a pst file I can however change the property
(CreationTime). I can not benifit from this however since the CreationTime
value changes when imported again.

If you have any ideas or direct solutions to my problem, please reply.

Regards
Jonas Wallin
