Client Profile Updating Utility 5.9 - Administration Guide

Using the SwitchResMB Utility

Before starting the Switch Resource Mailboxes utility, you should take the following steps:

  1. Create the configuration file according to your source and target environment. The format of the configuration file is described in SwitchResMB.ini Parameters

TIP: To create or change Switch Message for mailboxes perform the following:

In case Microsoft Outlook 2013 and in case Microsoft Outlook 2016/2019 the section TargetMailboxesSMTP is empty or not specified, you need to create a new configuration file in the CPUU installation folder and to verify that the account specified by DCAccount parameter in the configuration file has permission to read source Active Directory information. To encrypt the password that this account use to connect to the source domain controller, run the following command line in the CPUU installation folder:

SwitchResMB.exe <configuration file name> <password for domain controller account>

The encrypted password will be saved to the DCPassword parameter of configuration file.

Caution: Password encryption is necessary in Microsoft Outlook environment and should be completed before starting the utility.

  1. Create a configuration file for Client Profile Updating Utility (CPUU.ini) in the CPUU installation folder. It is recommended to edit CPUU.ini as described in the Recommended Values for the CPUU.ini Parameters topic.
  2. Run the Switch Resource Mailboxes utility using the following command-line:

SwitchResMB.exe SwitchResMB.ini > PathToSwitchResMB.log

Parameters:

  • SwitchResMB.ini – the path to the configuration file
  • PathToSwitchResMB.log – The path to the log file that the utility will create. If this parameter is not specified, no log file will be created.

Only the configuration file parameter is required.

SwitchResMB.ini Example

Below is an example of the INI file for Switch Resource Mailboxes utility if your source is Exchange Server 2010 or earlier and Microsoft Outlook 2013 is used: 
[Settings]
CPUUCmdLine=
SrcExchServer=Source
LogonNetworkSecurityNegotiate=1
[Mailboxes]
/o=SourceOrg/ou=Exchange  Administrative  Group  (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Room-1
/o=SourceOrg/ou=Exchange  Administrative  Group  (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Room-2
/o=SourceOrg/ou=Exchange  Administrative  Group  (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Room-3

If no switch message exists in the source resource mailbox, СPUU (SwitchResMB) will create switch messages, and to do this, you need to add the following two sections: 

[AD]
DCName=DC.source.domain
DCAccount=source\administrator
DCPassword=7F3A62CD00FC1DDDCD
[SwitchMessage]
MigrationAgentType=Legacy
 
Below is an example of the INI file for Switch Resource Mailboxes utility if your source is Exchange Server 2013 or higher and Microsoft Outlook 2013 is used:
[Settings]
CPUUCmdLine=
SrcExchServer=Source
LogonNetworkSecurityNegotiate=1
[RPCOverHTTP]
ConnectUsingHTTP=1
ProxyServer=proxy.source.domain
SSLOnly=0

/o=SourceOrg/ou=Exchange  Administrative  Group  (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Room-3

If no switch message exists in the source resource mailbox, СPUU (SwitchResMB) will create switch messages, and to do this, you need to add the following two sections:

[AD]
DCName=DC.source.domain
DCAccount=source\administrator
DCPassword=7F3A62CD00FC1DDDCD
[SwitchMessage]
MigrationAgentType=Contemporary
Target=Exchange
 
Below is an example of the INI file for Switch Resource Mailboxes utility if Microsoft Outlook 2016/2019 is used:
[Settings]
CPUUCmdLine=
SrcExchServer=
[MailboxesSMTP]
Room-1@source.domain
Room-2@source.domain
Room-3@source.domain

If no switch message exists in the source resource mailbox, СPUU (SwitchResMB) will create switch messages, and to do this, you need to add the following two sections:

[AD]
DCName=DC.source.domain
DCAccount=source\administrator
DCPassword=7F3A62CD00FC1DDDCD
[SwitchMessage]
MigrationAgentType=Contemporary
Target=Exchange
OR add the following two sections:
[TargetMailboxesSMTP]
Room-1@target.domain
Room-2@target.domain
Room-3@target.domain
[SwitchMessage]
MigrationAgentType=Contemporary
Target=O365

 

Recommended Values for the CPUU.ini Parameters

It is recommended to edit the CPUU configuration file (CPUU.ini) before you start the Switch Resource Mailboxes utility as suggested below:

[Parameters]

Features= Delegates Rules

Silent=1

Important: When using CPUU in conjunction with Migration Manager for Exchange, there is no defined limit for the maximum number of features that can be processed by CPUU. If you want to process all mailbox features, do not specify a value for the Features parameter. The feature list from the example above is recommended only for resource mailboxes.

However, if you use CPUU in conjunction with ODME, specify Skip=All.

It is also recommended to use the Silent=1 switch so that CPUU does not display any dialog boxes.

SwitchResMB Exit Codes

When the Switch Resource Mailboxes utility finishes, it sets the value of the errorlevel variable based on its exit status. The following bit mask can be used to retrieve Switch Resource Mailboxes utility completion status from the errorlevel code:

0 Processing successfully completed
1 Processing failed with errors
2 Incorrect command line parameters
4 Incorrect parameters in the INI configuration file
8 Unable to create one profile
16 Unable to create all profiles
32 Incorrect CPUU command line
64 Unable to start CPUU for updating profiles
128 Unable to start CPUU for cleanup

Troubleshooting

The following topics describe issues that may occur when working with the Client Profile Updating Utility, and how to resolve them:

Dealing with Slow Connection while Updating Profiles

When CPUU updates a user profile on a computer, it establishes a connection between the computer and an Exchange server where the corresponding user mailbox resides to get necessary data from the mailbox and update it accordingly. The problem is that if the user's computer has a slow connection to networks where that Exchange server is located (for instance, computer is connected to network through VPN or dial-up connection), those tasks will be performed slowly. That, in turn, affects overall CPUU performance so it may take several hours to update the user profile.

What you can do

You have the following options to achieve the best possible performance when connection between user's computer and network is slow:

1. Choose to process only necessary features

When planning to process user profiles on computers with slow connection to Exchange server, consider skipping features that are not necessary, or can be easily restored by user her- or himself.

As an example, the Nicknames (AutoNameCheck) feature take the longest to be updated over a slow connection.

You can configure CPUU to skip it in CPUU.ini:

Remove=Nicks

NOTE: For detailed information on supported features, see What the Utility Updates

2. Use SwitchResMB to process mailbox features

You can use SwitchResMB to process user mailbox features and then CPUU to finally switch the user profile. For details, see the topic below.

Processing user mailboxes with SwitchResMB and CPUU

For slow connections you can take an option to use Switch Resource Mailboxes (SwitchResMB.exe) utility installed on a computer in the same network where the Exchange server is located to process features and settings in the user mailbox. Then the corresponding user profile can be switched by CPUU locally on the user's computer. In this case, all features must be skipped when running CPUU.

This approach allows to achieve best performance, however the SwitchResMB utility has some limitations regarding supported mailbox features in comparison to CPUU.

TIP: For information how to use SwitchResMB, see Updating Resource Mailboxes.

The following table denotes which CPUU features can be processed by SwitchResMB. Carefully review it to decide whether this approach is appropriate for you or not.

Dealing with local Autodiscover service usage issues
