Outlook Profile Update

The Client Profile Updating Utility automatically updates Microsoft Outlook client profiles to use the target Exchange mailboxes. CPUU (legacy name: EMWProf) updates all the profile settings associated with the Exchange server and preserves the offline folder (OST) files for the mailboxes included in Remote Users Collections.

CPUU is integrated with the mailbox synchronization agents. The utility can be run from a logon script. As a source of information about mailbox switch status, it uses two hidden messages that Migration Agent for Exchange (in case of mailbox synchronization) or Mail Source Agent (in case of legacy mailbox synchronization) creates when switching or recreating mailboxes. This makes the mailbox switch and profile update unnoticeable to the users.

When the utility updates the user profile configured for a mailbox, it also updates the mailbox rules, copies the read/unread status for the mailbox messages and preserves other additional features. This ensures that the user’s target Exchange mailbox is an exact replica of the source mailbox by the time the user first logs on to it.

Please refer to Administrator Guide for details on the Client Profile Updating Utility.

Fine-Tuning the Agents

The following is a list of additional parameters that can be applied to the agents.

AllowSwitchWithoutTargetNotification

0—Verify whether the target Exchange mailbox can be accessed before notifying user about the mailbox switch or when processing messages for CPUU during mailbox switch. If target mailbox cannot be accessed then the mailbox switch will not be performed in the current session.

1—Ignore lack of access to the target Exchange mailbox when notifying user about the mailbox switch or when processing messages for CPUU during mailbox switch.

Default Value: 0

Applies to: Mail Source Agent

NOTE: If the AllowSwitchWithoutTargetNotification parameter value is 1 then the Mail Source Agent considers the LastPSTAppliedSwitch parameter value is 0 regardless of value configured.

CopyMessagesNotOlderFilter

The Copy messages not older option in the properties of the Mail Source Agent and the Public Folder Source Agent will apply to messages of the specified types. Wildcards cannot be used to specify the parameter values.

This parameter does not apply to rules.

Default Value: For CSA: IPM.Appointment; for others: IPM.Note, IPM.Post

Applies to: Mail Source Agent, Public Folder Source Agent, Calendar Synchronization Agent

DirSyncMatchingAttribute

This parameter is used for groups matching during migration of Book-In policies.

Default Value: extensionAttribute15

Applies to: Mail Source Agent, Mail Target Agent, Calendar Synchronization Agent

HungTimeoutSec

Defines a period of time after which agent instance will be automatically restarted if agent hangs. The timeout is set in seconds.

Default Value: 7200

Applies to: All legacy agents

LastPSTAppliedSwitch

0—Mailbox switch is performed without additional check whether the PRV file with 'ready to switch' flag is already processed by the Mail Target Agent.

1—Mailbox switch is performed with additional check whether the PRV file with the 'ready to switch' flag is already processed by the Mail Target Agent.

Default Value: 1

Applies to: Mail Source Agent

MaxReceivePSTCount

-1—Agent processes all PRV (PUB) files moved from source Exchange servers to the target Exchange server where the agent is running.

0—Agent processes only PRV (PUB) files already added to configuration database during previous synchronization session.

1 or more—Agent processes the specified number of PRV (PUB) files moved from source Exchange servers to the target Exchange server where the agent is running per synchronization job.

MigrationLockerTimeout

This parameter is involved in preventing a single mailbox or calendar from being processed by multiple agents at once. An agent locks a mailbox or calendar to work with it and unlocks it when the operation is complete. While a mailbox or calendar is locked, no other agents can process it. The MigrationLockerTimeout parameter controls the maximum lockout time for mailboxes and calendars. After this timeout, unlocking is forced. This is useful in situations where an agent fails during the operation before it can cleanly unlock the mailbox or calendar. The timeout is set in minutes.

Default Value: 240

Applies to: Mail Source Agent, Mail Target Agent, Calendar Synchronization Agent

MinAvailableVirtualMemory

This parameter sets the percentage of available memory that is restricted from the agent. The agent will not use that portion of the memory, even at maximum load. This parameter is not present in the configuration file by default. Increasing the percentage is recommended only if you experience agent database corruption. Decreasing the percentage is discouraged.

Default Value: 23

Applies to: Mail Source Agent, Mail Target Agent, Statistics Collection Agent, Free/Busy Synchronization Agent, Public Folder Source Agent, Public Folder Target Agent

ProcessPSTFromRemoteAgents

Using Agent Hosts for Migration Agents

Although Migration Manager for Exchange agents can be installed on the same Exchange servers as the mailboxes and public folders they process, the best practice is to use standalone agent hosts.

An agent host is a server computer where you install any Migration Manager for Exchange agents (including the Public Folder Source Agent, Public Folder Target Agent, Mail Source Agent, Mail Target Agent, Calendar Synchronization Agent, and Free/Busy Synchronization Agent). The agent host server can be either an Exchange server or any other server.

For example, using standalone agent hosts is reasonable in the following cases:

  • When installing of additional software (i.e. Migration Manager for Exchange agents) on the production Exchange server is not advisable for some reason
  • If Migration Manager for Exchange agents installed on a particular Exchange server do not work correctly because of conflicts with third-part software also installed on that server

This topic explains several peculiarities of configuring agent hosts for Exchange migration.

How to Configure Agent Hosts

System Requirements

For details about agent system requirements and needed permissions, please refer to the System Requirements and Access Rights document.

Considerations

When deciding what agent hosts to use, be sure to consider the following issues.

Changing a Server’s Agent Host

Once you have configured your synchronization jobs, it is possible to set up, remove, or change the agent host server for an Exchange server, but doing so can lead to the following issues:

  • All configuration data related to synchronization jobs on the Exchange server will be deleted from the configuration databases located on the old agent host server.
  • For all configured synchronization jobs, full resynchronization will be initiated automatically and the Commit option will be enabled.

Caution:In the case of a two-way public folder synchronization job, resynchronization will be performed from the source Exchange server to the target.

After changing the agent host server, you can manually perform the Remove all resynchronization settings from agent database operation. However if the agent host for source Exchange server is changed, the resynchronization of the hierarchy will take place anyway.

  • After the synchronization jobs are committed, configuration data related to the synchronization jobs on the Exchange server will be saved into the configuration databases on the new agent host server.

Caution: For the synchronization jobs to be committed successfully, the Migration Manager for Exchange agents must be already installed on the agent host server.

Statistics Collection

Statistics information is collected only from the agent host server; no statistics are gathered from the Exchange server itself.

Caution: If several Exchange servers are associated with the same agent host server, then the statistics from the agent host server will include data about all those Exchange servers collectively.

Working with Load Balancing Solutions (Case Study: Exchange 2010 CAS Arrays)

This topic explains how to prepare Migration Manager agents for working in environments that use load balancing solutions. In such environments, Exchange migration can be a disruptive event. Load balancing solutions are useful for regular day-to-day activity, but the spikes in MAPI traffic that happen during synchronization sessions are likely to strain the load-balanced servers. This can cause a variety of migration problems, from connectivity issues to loss of data.

This information is specific to Exchange 2010 CAS arrays, but in environments where other load balancing solutions are deployed, the same technique can be useful. The procedure applies to all types of Migration Manager for Exchange agent.

Configure Migration Manager agents to bypass the load balancing facilities before you start migration. For that, add entries to the %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file on the agent host for direct connection to the individual CAS servers.

For example, suppose the CAS array uses the virtual IP address 17.80.73.49 and the virtual FQDN cas1.mycompany.corp. From this array, you need Exchange server exchange1.mycompany.corp with the IP address 17.80.36.115. In the hosts file, map the CAS array FQDN or NetBIOS name to the individual Exchange server's IP address. In this case:

17.80.36.115 cas1.mycompany.corp

–OR–

17.80.36.115 \\cas1

After you have made these changes, confirm that they are in effect. For that, ping the virtual CAS array name with the -a parameter and see the resulting IP address.

Configuring Migration Using PowerShell

Migration Manager for Exchange provides a PowerShell module named MMExPowerShell for configuring certain migration project settings using PowerShell. It is located at <MMEx install folder>\Exchange Data\Tools\MMExPowerShell and includes the following cmdlets

  • For working with migration project:
    • Get-MMExProjectOptions cmdlet returns the list of adjustable migration project parameters and their current values.
    • Set-MMExProjectOptions cmdlet allows changing values of adjustable migration project parameters.

    • Remove-MMExCollectionMember cmdlet removes specified members (mailboxes, groups, containers) from all collections or from filtered collections specified by its name, type, or ID.
    • Add-MMExCollectionMember cmdlet adds specified members (mailboxes, groups, containers) to all collections or to filtered collections specified by its name, type, or ID.
  • For obtaining synchronization statistics:
    • Get-MMExCollectionStatistics cmdlet allows to obtain synchronization statistics of all collections or of collections specified by their name and/or type. Also you can obtain synchronization statistics for filtered collection objects passed from pipeline. See Synchronization Statistics below for details.
    • Get-MMExMailboxStatistics cmdlet allows to obtain synchronization statistics of all mailboxes or of mailboxes included in a collection specified by its name and/or type. Also you can obtain mailbox synchronization statistics for filtered collection objects passed from pipeline. See Synchronization Statistics below for details.
  • For working with migration processes for specified items:
    • Restart-MMEXMailboxMigration cmdlet restarts migration for specified mailboxes. This operation is also known as Resync in user interface. See Granular migration processes below for details.
    • Suspend-MMEXMailboxMigration cmdlet suspends migration for specified mailboxes. See Granular migration processes below for details.
    • Resume-MMEXMailboxMigration cmdlet resumes suspended migration for specified mailboxes. See Granular migration processes below for details.

  • For working with Load Balancer solutions:
    • Add-MMExExchangeRemoteHost cmdlet adds a remote host to project database. This cmdlet allows to add FQDN of remote host which is not included in project database and / or in case this host is not an Exchange Server. For example, in case the specified FQDN is used as Load Balancer solution in Exchange organization.
  • For migrated to Microsoft Office 365 mail-enabled universal security distribution group processing:
    • Set-MMExGroupMatching cmdlet searches specified source organization for mail-enabled universal security distribution groups and then copies legacyExchangeDN of each source group as an X500 address for migrated target group to set object matching. It is required to synchronize client permissions of these distribution groups. For details refer to Public Folder Synchronization (MAgE) document.

See description

LegacyFreeBusySync

Enables synchronization of free/busy information from target to source system public folders during two-way and one-way (target to source) calendar synchronization. System public folders store Free/Busy information for Outlook 2007 and earlier versions; therefore this feature must be enabled only if such Outlook versions are used in the source organization. Note that a slight increase of calendar sync latency might be expected when it is enabled (disabled by default).

In case this feature was enabled and there are no Outlook 2007 and earlier versions in the source and source system public folders exist, MAgE will trace about source public folders not found each calendar sync session.

Default value: false

Possible values: {false, true}

Consider, this parameter does not affect migration scenarios 2010-2010 (only EWS as source). In this case, the EWS protocol is always used to connect to the source Exchange server.

Note: If processing of a mailbox has already been started, changing this parameter will not affect that mailbox; its processing will be completed through original protocol (MAPI or EWS, respectively).

Important: This parameter should be used in conjunction with SkipAsfReceivedFlagOnBackwardSync parameter. Check whether SkipAsfReceivedFlagOnBackwardSync parameter is configured properly, as described below.

Default value: true

Possible values: {false, true}

SkipAsfReceivedFlagOnBackwardSync Skips processing of asfRecieved flag during backward calendar synchronization.
This parameter should be set true for migration scenarios with Exchange 2013 as a source processed through MAPI (see UseEwsProtocolForSourceIfAvailable parameter) if you experience duplicate appointments creation at source. Otherwise, avoid modifying this parameter.
Default value: false
Possible values: {false, true}
UseFilteringInBackwardSync

Specifies whether filter settings for a calendar collection should be applied for items synced from target to source for a switched mailbox or during two-way synchronization.

By default item filtering works only for items synced in source to target direction.

Default value: false
Possible values: {false, true}
SupportADSyncThroughThirdPartyTools

Specifies whether to support third-party tools instead of Migration Manager for Active Directory for performing Active Directory synchronization. For details how to implement such migration scenarios, contact technical support.

Default value: false
Possible values: {false, true}
UseAdvancedExchangeServerLookup

Specifies the method to find information about Exchange server during native mailbox move for New-MoveRequest creation.

NOTE: False value is intended for support purposes only. It is not recommended to change the default value.

 

Default value: true

Possible values: {false, true}

ReapplyPermissionsAfterSwitch

Specifies whether all permissions should be reapplied right after mailbox switch to ensure up-to-date mailbox folder permissions on target after the switch completion.

Default value: true
Possible values: {false, true}
FolderClassesToSkip

Specifies the list of folder classes that will be skipped along with their subfolders when performing a mail synchronization job.

Note that the following folder classes are always skipped and this cannot be overridden by the FolderClassesToSkip parameter:

  • IPF.Files
  • IPM.ApplicationData
See description
UsePublicFolderRecycleBin

This parameter is intended for public folder synchronization using MAgE / MMExPowerShell module.

Specifies whether public folders matched with deleted (soft or hard ) public folders will be stored in created Migration Manager Recycle Bin public folder.

NOTE: If the Migration Manager Recycle Bin public folder does not exist, it will be created automatically.

Default value: true

Possible values: {false, true}

DetectNewTopLevelFolders

Specifies whether top level folders should be automatically detected by MAgE to be added to the migration project if IPM_SUBTREE is configured as public folder synchronization root folder.

Of you only want to synchronize existing top-lefel folders this parameter should remain unchanged.

NOTE:

  • If you have included the –MigrateOnly parameter when configuring the migration and have set a specific folder as root, then even with the DetectNewTopLevelFolders parameter set to True, other top-level folders will not be automatically added.
  • The value of this parameter does not affect the subfolder handling. MAgE always automatically detects and adds subfolders to the migration project.
Default value: false

Possible values: {false, true}

FixPublicFolderUniqueId Specifies whether to adjust a public folder’s unique id automatically to avoid generate duplicated public folder items or folder on source Exchange for on-premise to O365 two-way synchronization. Default value: true

Possible values: {false, true}

FixPublicFolderUniqueIdResyncFeature Specifies whether to clean up duplicate public folder items or folders which generated during the previous migration when resyncing public folders for on-premise to O365 two-way synchronization Default value: false

Possible values: {false, true}

DetectNewSubPublicFolders Specifies whether the new subfolders of migrated root folder will be automatically added to migration. Default value: true

Possible values: {false, true}

Example: Reset-MMExProjectOptions

The following cmdlet resets all parameters of the current project to the default values:

Reset-MMExProjectOptions -All
Example: Reset-MMExProjectOptions

The following cmdlet resets time period in minutes during which Migration Agent for Exchange continues synchronizing mail data from the source to the target user's mailbox after mailbox has been switched to the default value:

Reset-MMExProjectOptions -SyncPeriodAfterSwitch
Adjusting minimum processing intervals for MAgE

When mailbox synchronization is almost completed, rate of changes in content of mailboxes usually significantly slows down. Therefore, looking for changes by agents as frequent as during the main synchronization phase results in unnecessary load on agent hosts, Exchange server and SQL server. It also slows down the processing of the mailboxes which do have many changes. To work around that, you can adjust parameters that set the minimum time period that passes between attempts to process a mailbox. There are individual parameters for different collection types and mailbox statuses.

MAgE minimum processing intervals can be adjusted using the Set-MMExProjectOptions cmdlet by changing the following parameters:

Parameter name Minimum time interval in minutes that must pass before... Values
MinCalendarProcessingInterval ...a calendar can be processed again when calendar is not ‘In Sync’. Default value: 15 minutes

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 1440 minutes (24 hours)

MinCalendarProcessingIntervalInSync ...a calendar can be processed again when calendar is ‘In Sync’ Default value: 15 minutes

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 10080 minutes (7 days)

MinMailProcessingInterval ...a mailbox can be processed again when mailbox is not ‘Ready to Switch’. Default value: 15 minutes

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 1440 minutes (24 hours)

MinMailProcessingIntervalInSync ...a mailbox can be processed again when mailbox is ‘Ready to Switch’. Default value: 180 minutes (3 hours)

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 10080 minutes (7 days)

MinNativeMoveProcessingInterval ... a native move can be performed again when mailbox is not ‘Ready to Switch’. Default value: 15 minutes

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 1440 minutes (24 hours)

MinNativeMoveProcessingIntervalInSync ...a native move can be processed again when mailbox is ‘Ready to Switch’. Default value: 15 minutes

Minimum value: 1 minute

Maximum value: 10080 minutes (7 days)

MinPublicFolderProcessingInterval ...a public folder can be processed again in case the public folder is not ‘Ready to Switch’. Maximum value is 1440 minutes (24 hours). Default value: 15

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 1400

MinPublicFolderProcessingIntervalInSync ...a public folder can be processed again in case the public folder is ‘Ready to Switch’. Maximum value is 10080 minutes (7 days). Default value: 180

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 10080

NOTE: Changes apply without restarting the agents

}

 

Synchronization statistics

To obtain synchronization statistics of a collection or for mailboxes from a collection, use the Get-MMExCollectionStatistics and Get-MMExMailboxStatistics cmdlets, respectively. They can receive input from pipeline or use name or type of collection according to the following syntax:

Get-MMExCollectionStatistics -Type Calendar -Name "Collection1"
Get-MMExMailboxStatistics -Name "Collection2" -Type Mail

Where

  • Name is a title of collection specified in Migration Manager for Exchange console. This parameter is optional.
  • Type can be Mail for a mailbox collection or Calendar for a calendar collection. This parameter is optional.
    NOTE: These cmdlets are not intended to obtain synchronization statistics for NativeMove collections.

 

TIP:

The Get-MMExCollectionStatistics cmdlet can be used to retrieve synchronization statistics for collection objects that are submitted through the pipeline from Get-MMExCollection cmdlet. You can filter the collection objects using specific parameters that are not available in Get-MMExCollectionStatistics.

The Get-MMExMailboxStatistics cmdlet can be used to retrieve synchronization statistics for mailboxes from the collections that are submitted through the pipeline from Get-MMExCollection cmdlet. You can filter the collections using specific parameters that are not available in Get-MMExMailboxStatistics.

Results can be either viewed in a new console window or exported to a CSV file.

For more details, see help for the cmdlets in Windows PowerShell.

 

Example 1

This command gets statistics of mailboxes that are passed from pipeline using Get-MMExCollection and then writes the output to the specified CSV file.

PS C:\>Get-MMExCollection | Get-MMExMailboxStatistics | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8 -Path "C:\MMEX\export.csv"

Results in the CSV file will look as follows:

"CollectionName","CollectionId","DisplayName","MailboxId","Status","Progress","DiscoveredItems","ProcessedItems","FailedItems","SkippedItems","LastProcessedTime","Ledn","LastError"

"Collection1","3","MailBox1","3","SwitchedFinalSync","100","21","21","0","0","2018-10-18T21:09:53Z","",

"Collection2","9","MailBox2","7","InProgress","50","100","50","0","0","2018-09-08T06:59:01Z","",

 

Example 2

This command get statistics for mailboxes from the collections for which the ClearAllSyncDataOnResync option is set to True :

Get-MMExCollection | ?{$_.ClearAllSyncDataOnResync -match 'true'} |Get-MMExMailboxStatistics

 

Example 3

This command get statistics for all mailbox collections (Mail type):

Get-MMExCollection -Type Mail | Get-MMExCollectionStatistics

Granular migration processes

Detailed Description

The Restart-MMEXMailboxMigration cmdlet restarts migration for a specified mailbox to resynchronize content and permissions, or resynchronizes permissions only for the mailbox if PermissionsOnly parameter is specified.

Two resynchronization modes are available depending on PermissionsOnly parameter for the project:

  • PermissionsOnly is not set

Permissions and folder content will be resynchronized for specified mailbox (mail collection). Migration will be restarted for public folder and all currently available permissions and messages from source will be migrated to target again. It can be useful in case some messages or permissions were found to be migrated incorrectly, restart of migration forces MAgE to repeat data transferring attempt.

NOTE: MAgE will not cleanup ALL content of target mailbox. For 1-way synchronization, MAgE will reapply all permissions from the source mailbox to target and will migrate all source messages to target. If some of those messages had been previously migrated by MAgE, old copies will be overwritten (recreated).

  • PermissionsOnly is set

Permissions will be cleared from project database and then resynchronized for specified mailbox. This is the only action that will be performed. No mailbox content is affected.

Syntax

Restart-MMExMailboxMigration

-MailboxId <mailbox ID value>

-CollectionID<collection ID value>

[<PermissionsOnly>]

[<CommonParameters>]

Examples

Example 1
