1) don't mix individual mailbox restore with Information Store/Directory
restores.
2) You have the IS/DS, so you are set (you don't need to restore the
individual mailboxes).
3) In the future, forget about individual mailboxes. See
http://mail.tekscan.com/nomailboxes.htm.
4) As long as the new server is part of the same domain and using the same
Exchange service account, everything should go well.

Here are some Exchange links. The first is _required_ reading.
