Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.1

The MNE qsched.exe task-scheduling utility is compatible with the Admin Account Pool for migrations to Office 365, but only with an additional step added to the process. For other migration scenarios (to on-premises Exchange or to Office 365 without an Admin Account Pool) the qsched.exe utility regularly checks the MNE SQL database to see whether any tasks are scheduled to run since the last check, and runs any tasks it finds (as explained in the Administration Guide, chapter 13). However, Office 365 access restrictions require an intermediate scheduling mechanism to accommodate the Admin Account Pool.

When migrating to Office 365 with the MNE Admin Account Pool, use the Windows Task Scheduler to run the qsched.exe for each MNE task you want to run:

Add a Windows scheduled task to run qsched.exe (in the Migrator for Notes to Exchange installation directory) at the task's scheduled execution time and set it to “Run only when user is logged on.”

At the time the task is scheduled to run:

•

Ensure the Migrator for Notes to Exchange task scheduler service is disabled.

•

Ensure the task's associated user is logged on (per step 1).

Managing the Admin Account Pool

Use the Admin Account Pool utility to manage your account pool. The utility lets you view the accounts in the pool, change the common password for all admin accounts in the pool, and/or change the number of accounts in the pool.

To make changes using the Admin Account Pool utility

Click Manage on one of the following screens:

•

In the MNE Notes Migration Manager, on the Exchange Server Configuration screen.

•

In the Data Migration Wizard, on the Select Destination Exchange Server screen.

- OR -

Run the program file (AdminAcctPoolManager.exe) independently.

The Admin Account Pool utility contains a single screen that contains a table of the Admin pool accounts that are registered in the MNE database. Each time the program is started, it uses remote PowerShell to scan Office 365 and synchronize the MNE list of accounts with the Office 365 list.

Select the options that you want.

•

Click Refresh to refresh the Current Owner, Allocate Time and Use Count values in the table: These values change as migrations allocate, use, and release Admin pool accounts but you can get the current values by clicking Refresh.

•

Click Synchronize to resynchronize the utility’s list of accounts with Exchange and to view the current list of Office 365 accounts registered in the MNE database. This is the same synchronization that the utility performs each time you start the program.

•

Reconfigure your Admin Account Pool by changing the values for any of these fields:

•

Password: Enter a new password in the text box. The same password is assigned to all the pooled admin accounts.

•

New pool size: Change the number of accounts in the pool by setting a new number in the New pool size field.


	NOTE: If you set the New pool size to 0, or otherwise reduce the pool size, any licenses associated with accounts no longer in the pool become available for other accounts.

•

License Admin Pool Accounts: Select the check box to assign Office 365 licenses to these accounts, or clear the check box to dissociate Office 365 licenses from these accounts.


	NOTE: Microsoft Office 365 licenses are transferable, so they can be reassigned after they are disassociated from these accounts. Note that this dissociation also deletes any Office 365 mailbox that may have been created for the account but admin accounts created for this purpose typically do not need or use Office 365 mailboxes.
