The Getting Started section of the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Quick-Start Guide explains how to install Migrator for Notes to Exchange. The subtopics below describe several configuration tasks that should be performed now, as part of the Migrator for Notes to Exchange configuration, before the first run of any Migrator for Notes to Exchange admin Wizard. (Some are optional and apply only in particular circumstances, as noted below.)
IMPORTANT: Remember also that any antivirus software on the admin workstation must be configured to not scan the Quest program files directory or %temp% directory, or may simply be turned off prior to running any Quest admin application. (Although it may be restored after the program runs.) Migrator for Notes to Exchange program calls will not succeed if an antivirus scan tries to "clean" an Migrator for Notes to Exchange temporary file that it misinterprets as a threat. |
These Default Settings should be entered now into Notes Migration Manager (the Migrator for Notes to Exchange "console"), before other program features or the Wizards are used, so that the information will be available to them and need not be entered again. If the information is not entered now, upon installation, the features and Wizards will prompt for the values as needed, and most of them will have to be entered more than once—reentered for each feature and Wizard that needs them.
NOTE: Quest therefore recommends you visit all five of the Edit Default Settings screens in Notes Migration Manager now to enter this information. The Notes Migration Manager is described in chapter 1 of the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Administration Guide. |
Migrator for Notes to Exchange tasks (program runs) are defined by Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s wizards, most of which also let you schedule tasks to run at particular times on particular days. The Manage Scheduled Operations screen in Notes Migration Manager lets you revise these task-execution schedules. But the wizards and Manage Scheduled Operations screen manage only the scheduling of task runs as these schedules are saved in the SQL database, and a "scheduled" task does not execute by itself. Tasks are executed by Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s Task Scheduler utility, as described here.
Scheduled tasks are executed using a separate command-line application called the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Task Scheduler (qsched.exe, in Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s installation directory). The program regularly checks the SQL database to see whether any tasks have been scheduled to run since the last check, and then executes the tasks at their scheduled times.
The Task Scheduler runs as a Windows service and is automatically installed when you install Migrator for Notes to Exchange. The Task Scheduler is configured by default to autostart (upon every workstation reboot) and run under the credentials of the administrator account that runs the Migrator for Notes to Exchange installer. The Task Scheduler can be managed as any other Windows service using the Windows Service Manager. Instructions for configuring a Windows service can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681921(v=vs.85).aspx
Migrator for Notes to Exchange's qsched.exe task-scheduling utility is compatible with Migrator for Notes to Exchange's Admin Account Pool for migrations to Office 365, but only with an additional step added to the process. For some migration scenarios (to an on-premises Exchange, or to Office 365 without the Admin Account Pool) the qsched.exe utility alone manages the execution of scheduled tasks. But Office 365 access restrictions require an intermediate scheduling mechanism to accommodate Migrator for Notes to Exchange's Admin Account Pool, as described here.
When migrating to Office 365 with Migrator for Notes to Exchange's Admin Account Pool, use Windows' Task Scheduler to run Migrator for Notes to Exchange's qsched.exe for each Migrator for Notes to Exchange task you want to run:
1 |
Add a Windows scheduled task to run Migrator for Notes to Exchange's qsched.exe (in the Migrator for Notes to Exchange installation directory) at the task's scheduled execution time, and to "Run only when user is logged on." |
a |
Start lusrmgr.msc or go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management, and select the Local Users and Groups snap-in. |
b |
Create a new local user, for example O365admin. |
1 |
Log into the migration server as O365admin. |
2 |
Open Control Panel | Mail (32bit). |
a |
Click More Settings…. |
b |
On the Security tab: Verify the checkbox Always prompt for logon credentials is unchecked. |
c |
Check the radio button Prompt for profile to be used. |
8 |
Very Important: When prompted to enter credentials, check the Remember password checkbox. |
1 |
Start services.msc or go to Control Panel | All Control Panel Items | Administrative Tools | Services. |
3 |
In the Startup Type field, select "Autostart (Delayed Start)". |

The Data Migration Wizard reads a mandatory program parameter to get the two-character Usage Location code that Microsoft requires for its Office 365 licenses (per this Microsoft article). Be sure to set this value, in Migrator for Notes to Exchange Global Defaults or Task Parameters, before you try to License users:
The parameter value is a two-letter keyword, which must conform to the standardized values listed for ISO 3166-1-alpha-2.
