Changing the Directory Server for the Domain

At a later date, for performance reasons, you might want to change the directory server that is used to create the connection to the Domino domain.

To change the server used for the Domino domain connection
1
Expand the Domino Domains node and select a Domino domain.
2
Right-click and select Properties
3
From the server list, select a server that contains a primary Domino Directory.
4
Click OK.

Connecting to a Notes Migrator Database

Certain reports can be used to assess the progress of a Notes to Exchange migration. By connecting to a Notes Migrator for Exchange database, you can view data in the following “real-time” reports:

•
Migration Status per Collection
•
Migration Status per Server
•
Mailbox Comparison
•
Distribution List Provisioning
•
NSF Status

You can connect to a Notes Migrator database that is on the same SQL instance as the MessageStats database, or to a remote Notes Migrator database on a different SQL server.

If you connect to a remote database, you must use SQL authentication to create a linked server connection.

To connect to a Notes Migrator database
1
Expand the Lotus and IBM Notes node and select Notes Migrator Databases in the treeview.
2
Right-click and select Connect.
3
Enter a descriptive name for the connection. This is the name used to identify the database in the Notes Migration Status reports.
4
Select the type of authentication for the database connection:
•
If you are connecting to a Notes Migrator database on the same SQL instance as the MessageStats database, you can select Windows Authentication and proceed to Step 6.
- OR -
•
If you are connecting to a Notes Migrator database on a different SQL server, you must select SQL Authentication.
a
Enter the SQL user name and password that will be used to connect to the database. The SQL account must have the following database role memberships:
•
public
•
db_datareader
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The Windows account that is used to run the MessageStats console must be a member of the SQL setupadmin fixed server role on the remote SQL server that hosts the MessageStats database. Only members of the setupadmin fixed server role have sufficient rights to create a linked server
5
Select the SQL server that contains the Notes Migrator database.
6
Select the Notes Migrator database that contains the migration data.
7
Click Test Connection to verify that the connection can be established.
8
Click Save.
Modifying SQL Credentials for the Connection

If you create a connection to a Notes Migrator database that is on a different SQL instance than the MessageStats database, you must create the connection using SQL authentication.

At a later date, you can modify the credentials. For example, if the password for the SQL account has changed, you can modify the password used for the connection.

To modify the SQL credentials
1
Select the Notes Migrator database in the treeview.
2
Right-click and select Edit SQL Authentication Properties.
3
Enter the change that you want to make:
•
Enter a different password for the displayed SQL account.
- OR-
•
Enter a different SQL name and password.
4
Click Save.

MessageStats Reports Node

This node launches the MessageStats Reports component in the right pane. The reports node accesses the separate web-based reporting component that is hosted on an IIS server.

Before you create your task gathering, you must set up a connection to each of the Domino database instances from which you want to gather information.

Task Execution Servers Node

The Task Execution Servers node contains the servers on which you have installed task processors. In a complete installation, task processors are installed on the same server as the MessageStats scheduler server and the MMC client console.

Tasks that consume resources can be run on a dedicated Task Execution Server. You can create additional Task Execution Servers through a distributed installation. In a distributed installation, you can install task processors on additional servers to spread the gathering load.

Through the Task Execution Servers node, you can set properties for specific task execution servers. You can change the default task execution server, identify a path location to which the task log files are written, specify parameters for task logging activities, and set the number of task processors that can run concurrently. To gather information for the reports, the task processors must access the databases on the Domino server.

For more information about setting properties for a task execution server, see the MessageStats Administrator Guide.
