Preparation Overview

This section provides a short overview of the main steps that should be performed to set up your source Exchange 2013 organization and its environment for migration using Migration Manager for Exchange. These steps are described in detail in the related subtopics.

Setting up the source Exchange 2013 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 Agent for Exchange. 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:

  • Source Active Directory Synchronization Account
  • Source Exchange Account
  • Source Active Directory Account
  • Source Agent Host Account

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 Source Exchange Environment for Exchange Migration

On this step you should perform common environment preparations for mailbox and calendar synchronizations:

  • Back up Exchange
  • Install Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 version 6.5.8353.0 or later on agent hosts
  • Create custom throttling policies
  • Set Exchange Autodiscover URL (Optional)

On this step you should perform common environment preparations for public folder synchronization:

  • Configure administrator mailboxes for public folder synchronization
  • Create Aelita EMW Recycle Bin public folder (optional)
  • Prepare public folder mailboxes for public folder synchronization
  • Configure the NSPI connection limit
  • Fine-Tuning the Public Folder Synchronization Agents to use Kerberos authentication (Optional)

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

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

  1. Setting up the source Exchange organization for Internet mail flow between source and target Exchange organizations
