Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.3

The Data Migration Wizard migrates batches of users simultaneously, performs important administrative functions (mailbox creation, routing updates, etc.), and also migrates public distribution lists.

•

The Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM) runs in memory on an end-user local workstation and migrates content for one user. SSDM streamlines the process of migrating local content, reduces burden on the migration team, and includes a Silent Mode to minimize end user interaction and requirements.

Either migration engine can be used independently for the entire data migration, or the two may be used together to meet a variety of project requirements, as discussed in the Pre-Migration Planning Guide (see the Batch vs. Per-Desktop Migration topic in chapter 3).

This section provides process instructions for the batch-migration portion of a migration to Microsoft 365 where an administrator uses the Data Migration Wizard to perform the migrations for multiple batches (collections) of users. SSDM (per-desktop) migration, described in chapter 4, can also be part of your Migration Plan.


	NOTE: Do not begin the batch-migration process until you have completed all the Pre-migration preparations described earlier in this chapter.

The flow chart that follows summarizes the batch-migration process for an Microsoft 365 target. The step numbers in the flow chart correspond to the step numbers in the narrative process instructions.

This batch-migration procedure is repeated for each user collection to be migrated as shown by the looping arrow in the flow chart.


	NOTE: Notes groups (distribution lists) are typically migrated separately after all users have been migrated. The Post-migration activities described at the end of this chapter include the migration of groups.

Step 1 (optional): Re-run directory connectors


	Conditional Step: Applies only if you provisioned Microsoft 365 from a local AD, and used Quest CMN when provisioning your local AD, in which case this step is optional but recommended. Otherwise, skip to the next step.

Many organizations experience staff additions and departures during a migration transition period and employees move from one office to another or are promoted or reassigned. Directory changes that occur during the migration project after the initial directory updates in the Pre-Migration Preparations can introduce data inconsistencies between the source and target environments. You can reconcile these differences using a “two-step” directory update between Domino and Microsoft 365:

Configure the CMN Directory Connector for bidirectional updates between Notes and the local Active Directory. For details, see the Directory Connector chapter in the Coexistence Manager for Notes User Guide.

Configure Microsoft AD Sync tool to synchronize the local AD with Microsoft 365.

Both the CMN Directory Connector and the Microsoft AD Sync tool can be configured to automatically run directory updates at scheduled intervals. However, you should also run directory updates manually at this step to ensure the directories are consistent before migrating each collection.


	NOTE: An object that is synchronized to Microsoft 365 with proxyAddresses will lose the proxyAddress upon the next synchronization if the UPN is changed to match the Microsoft 365 login—which disables mail routing from Domino to Exchange.

Step 2: Refresh the MNE SQL data

To ensure your target Exchange is provisioned with current object data, update the information in the MNE SQL database before migrating each user collection. If you have updated the directories in the preceding step (optional), this process will also relay all directory changes into the SQL database. To update the SQL server database:

Re-run the MNE NABs Discovery Wizard and Internet Domains Discovery Wizard to refresh the location of the Notes Address Books (NABs) and the list of Internet domains that are used to generate user SMTP aliases.

Re-run the Directory Export Wizard to refresh the data in the SQL server database.
