Target Exchange 2010 Environment Preparation

Follow the steps that are described in the Preparation Checklist topic to prepare your Exchange 2010 organization and its environment for being the target organization in the Exchange migration process conducted by Migration Manager for Exchange.

Important: This document covers the case when mailbox and calendar synchronization is performed using Migration Agent for Exchange. If you perform those types of synchronization using legacy agents then refer to the Target Exchange 2010 Environment Preparation (Legacy) document.

Important: This document covers the case when mailbox and calendar synchronization is performed using legacy migration agents. If you perform those types of synchronization using legacy agents then refer to the Target Exchange 2010 Environment Preparation (MAgE) document.

On some of steps you may need to coordinate the setup process with the administrator of the source Exchange organization.

Preparation Overview

This section provides a short overview of the main steps that should be performed to set up your target Exchange 2010 organization and its environment for migration using Migration Manager for Exchange. These steps are described in detail in the related subtopics.

Setting up the target Exchange 2010 organization consists of four main steps:

Checking the System Requirements

On this step make sure that your environment meets the minimal system requirements for Migration Manager for Exchange agents. For more details, see Checking System Requirements.

Setting Up Accounts and Required Permissions

On this step you should set up the accounts and required permissions for Exchange migration. There are four main types of accounts used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents:

  • Target Active Directory Synchronization Account
    This account is used by the Directory Synchronization Agent (DSA) to access the target Active Directory domain
  • Target Exchange Account
    This account is used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents installed on agent host to access the target Exchange server.
  • Target Active Directory Account
    This account is used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents to access the target domain.
  • Target Agent Host Account
    This account is used to install and run the Migration Manager for Exchange agents on agent host and to access the license server.

You can simplify the setup by using a single account for all Migration Manager for Exchange processes. This account should have the permissions that are required for Migration Manager for Exchange console and all agents on every server that is involved in the migration.

For more details, see Setting Up Accounts and Required Permissions.

Preparing the Target Exchange Environment for Exchange Migration

On this step you should perform common environment preparations:

  • Back up Exchange.
  • Create the Aelita EMW Recycle Bin public folder (optional)
  • Create administrator mailboxes for public folder and free/busy synchronization
  • Create administrator mailboxes for mailbox and calendar synchronization (optional)
  • Create custom throttling policies
  • Install Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 version 6.5.8353.0 or later.
  • Disable RPC Encryption on target Exchange 2010 servers (optional)
  • Back up Exchange
  • Create the Aelita EMW Recycle Bin public folder (optional)
  • Install Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 version 6.5.8353.0 or later on agent hosts (optional)
  • Create administrator mailboxes for public folder synchronization

  • Create custom throttling policies

For more details, see Preparing the Target Exchange Environment for Exchange Migration.

Setting Up Connection with the Source Exchange Organization Using SMTP Connectors

On this fourth step you should set up the connection with the source Exchange organization using SMTP connectors. This task consists of three subtasks given below:

  1. Setting up the target Exchange 2010 organization for Internet mail flow between target and source Exchange organizations
  2. Configuring target DNS server for mail forwarding
  3. Testing the SMTP connectors (optional)

For more details, see Setting Up Connection with the Source Exchange Organization Using SMTP Connectors.

Prerequisites

Before starting the preparation of the target Exchange 2010 organization and its environment, make sure that you have the privileges to grant all of the following permissions to accounts.

NOTE: The list of permissions given below contains all required permissions for the accounts. However some of the permissions can be replaced with their equivalents. For more information, see the corresponding steps for each account.

Target Active Directory Synchronization Account
  • Membership in the Administrators or Domain Admins group of the target domain.
Target Exchange Account
  • Read access to the target domain.
  • Membership in the local Administrators group on all target Exchange servers involved in the migration. If a server is a domain controller, the account should be added to the domain local Administrators group of the domain.
  • Full Control permission on the organizational units (OUs) (and their child objects) where the target synchronized objects are located.
  • Full Control permission on the Microsoft Exchange System Objects organizational unit in all domains in which target Exchange 2010 servers involved in public folder synchronization reside.

  • The Move Mailboxes management role
  • The Mail Recipients management role
  • The ApplicationImpersonation management role

TIP: The Read permission for the Microsoft Exchange container is required only if you plan to add the target Exchange organization using the Add Target Organization Wizard under this account.
