Migration OptionsGreen Field *Big-Bang* migration

End-User *Big-Bang* migration

Classic migration with long-term

coexistence

Admin ‘Quick’ migration with

min Coexistence

Minimal *Big-Bang* migration

• Just provision users and GO !

• Everyone moved at once

• No retention of legacy mailbox data

• Pro: Easy to deploy for large groups

• Con: Loss of old content.

• Provision users, and provide end users with migration tools.


• Users are given tools/options to access and migrate legacy mail themselves

• Pro: Easy to scale to large groups.

• Con: Difficult to manage end user tools.

• Con: End user sat with extra work.

• Provision users and just migrate core content (Calendar, contacts, etc.)

• Can be combined with end-user migration.


• Pro: Can scale to large groups and preserves some data

• Con: End-user sat with missing data.

• Admin provisions and migrates groups of users to new service as fast as possible

• All mailbox content is preserved

• Only minimal coexistence is offered

• Pro: Full data fidelity• Con: May not be

possible for large orgs

• Admin provisions and migrates groups of users to new service.

• All mailbox content is preserved.

• Long-term coexistence is offered

• Pro: Support for large scale migrations

• Pro: Includes coexistence

• Con: Not all coexistence features may be available

• Con: Admin work to coordinate group/moves.

What to Ask During PlanningIs the customer aware of the differences between on-premise and online Exchange?

No Public FoldersDistribution List ManagementManaging Resource MailboxesManaging Shared MailboxesMail Forwarding

What mobile devices does the customer have?BES, Windows Mobile, iPhone

Does the customer need an archive solution?Or, is there already a mail archive solution?

Does the customer require mailbox Offboarding?Is the customer already using an existing filtering solution?

Already using EHS?Using another filtering Provider

What to Ask During Planning

Are there existing mail-enabled applications?Outlook applications, generic SMTP applications, fax gateways, Unified Messaging, Seibel, CRM, other LOB Applications

What bandwidth does the customer have?Plan for what is needed during migration and after migration

Plan for End-User ImpactEnd User Sign-In client DownloadUpgrade to Outlook 2007Password Management

How to distribute the initial passwordsManaging expectations around local and cloud passwordsPasswords policies

Does the customer have OWA or Deskless users

Accounts that have mailboxes in Microsoft Online:Mail forwarded to the MODRD (@Companyx.MicrosoftOnline.com)

Accounts with local mailboxesMail forwarded to the company domain (@Companyx.com)MX records for company still resolve to local Exchange servers so any mail directed to @company.com will be routed back to the local servers

Consider During ActivationCan only activate 250 at a time

How users can access Microsoft OnlineCan access with Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Client

Users can access all services without after a single sign-in promptThis is a DIFFERENT ACCOUNT from their current Active Directory Account

Or use https://home.microsoftonline.comWill need to sign-in multiple times when accessing different services

Password ManagementWill need a process to capture and distribute initial passwordsEnd users must change password before they can access services

Use Microsoft Online Services Sign-In clientUse https://home.microsoftonline.com to change password

Must reset password before using Outlook Web Access

Duplicate mailboxesAll external mail and local mail will be delivered to local mailboxAll mail from MSOL will be delivered to new MSOL mailbox

Creates an Alternate Recipient in local AD to forward all mail to Microsoft online and leave a local copy

Mailbox After A Migration

Using PowerShell for Mailbox MigrationAll migration functionality can be automated with PowerShell

The Core PowerShell Commands

Get-XSActiveDirectoryUser : Get a list of users from Microsoft Online

Search-XSMicrosoftOnlineUser : Match a user with Microsoft Online

Add-XSExchangeForwardingAddress : Adds a mailbox forwarder

Move-XSExchangeMailboxToExchangeOnline : Migrates a mailbox to Exchange Online

All tasks are fully documented in the help with examples

Consider When MigratingMigration Bandwidth and Migration Options

Expect 2gig / Hour per instanceWith high-bandwidth: Increase migration threads and migration instances to increase performanceWith low-bandwidth: Use filters to decrease content that is migrated

PermissionsMust have full-mailbox access to source mailboxAll admin’s have full-mailbox access to MSOL for migration.

Re-Migration and DuplicatesCan remigrate and previously migrated mail will not duplicate

What is not included in mailbox migrationsPermissionsDelegatesRulesOutlook Settings

End-User ConfigurationPrior to mailbox migration

Export rules and list delegates

After mailbox migrationUser must download/install Sign-in tool

User will be prompted to reset password and configure Outlook

Outlook will automatically re-download the OST

After Outlook starts user must manually Import and edit mailbox rulesUpdate delegates and ACLsAdd local domains to ‘Safe Sender’ list

Migrating Conference RoomsProblem: Conference rooms can not be activated directly from Microsoft Online Admin ConsoleProcess for Migrating Conference Rooms

Manually delete any conference rooms that were created automatically through directory sync.Manually create conference room with same email address and set conference room owner.

Use migration tools to migrate conference room content.

Things to Consider During PlanningDirectory Strategy: What will drive account management in the future?

Recommend: Move to local AD to drive Microsoft OnlineConsider state of current AD topology. Will AD structure need to change?

Migration Strategy: What is best approach for migration?Recommend: Minimal coexistence period due to limitations in coexistence

Directory Coexistence and MigrationStep 1: Migrate to a local Active Directory

Consider AD as master for Microsoft OnlineUse existing on-premise migration tools to migrate to local Active Directory or export/import lists (Note: Tools may require Exchange admin installed)

Step 2: Cleanup Active DirectoryEnsure account information and SMTP addresses are accurate

Step 3: Directory Sync with Microsoft Online using MSOL Directory Sync ToolDisabled User accounts are created in Microsoft Online

Mailbox Migration ConsiderationsArchive Before You Migrate

Will users participate in the migration of their mailbox

Available BandwidthMay need to migrate over nights and/or weekendsMultiple migration machines as an option

Front Load Data Migration ApproachData is migrated over a period of timeOne more pass for the delta’s, then the user is switched

Back Load Data Migration ApproachData is migrated with filter options configuredUser works in the BPOS mailbox with limited dataData is backfilled until BPOS mailbox is in sync

Foreign Migration (2 Hop Method)2 Hop Migration Process

1st Hop: Mailboxes are first migrated to a ‘Staging’ mailbox in ExchangeUse existing On-Premise tools to migrate to a mailbox on an Exchange serverMailbox is only used as a ‘staging’ mailbox and not by user

2nd Hop: Use MSOL Exchange migration tools to migrate content to MSOL

Manually set mail forwarding in Foreign SystemAs part of migration process manually add a mail forward to account in GroupWise or Domino

POP/IMAP Directory StrategyOption 1: Use Active Directory and Directory Sync

Benefit: Can continue to use Active Directory after migration to manage accountsProcess:

Step 1: Provision accounts in local Active DirectoryCan use AD import tools (LDIFDE, or import/export in ADUC) for bulk operations

Step 2: Directory sync with Microsoft Online

Option 2: Use Microsoft Online Directly (Do not use Active Directory)Benefit: Does not require a local Active DirectoryCreate users directly in Microsoft Online

Use admin console to create a single userUse bulk import to create multiple users

Think About for POP/IMAP Migrations

Make sure you know the source POP/IMAP serverSource server names, source ports, supported security options, admin access to source mailboxes, and any connection limitations

Have a strategy for accessing source mailboxesUse admin userID/password IF your source server supports itReset userID/password just prior to migrating mailboxesCollect individual userID/passwords prior to migrating mailboxes

Have a strategy for forwarding mail after the migration
