Target Exchange 2007 Environment Preparation
Follow the steps that are described in the Preparation Checklist topic to prepare your Exchange 2007 organization and its environment for being the target organization in the Exchange migration process conducted by Migration Manager for Exchange.
On some of steps you may need to coordinate the setup process with the administrator of the source Exchange organization.
Preparation Overview
This section provides a short overview of the main steps that should be performed to set up your target Exchange 2007 organization and its environment for migration using Migration Manager for Exchange. These steps are described in detail below.
Setting up the target Exchange 2007 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 Manager for Exchange agents. 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:
- Target Active Directory Synchronization Account
This account is used by:
- Target Exchange Account
This account is used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents installed on agent host to access the target Exchange server.
- Target Active Directory Account
This account is used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents to access the target domain.
- Target Agent Host Account
This account is used to install and run the Migration Manager for Exchange agents on agent host and to access the license server.
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 Target Exchange Environment for Exchange Migration
On this step you should perform common environment preparations:
- Back up Exchange.
- Create the Aelita EMW Recycle Bin public folder (optional).
- Create administrator mailboxes for public folder and free/busy synchronization.
- Create administrator mailboxes for mailbox and calendar synchronization (optional).
- Install Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 version 6.5.8353.0 or later.
- Specify the displayName value for target Exchange 2007 mailbox database objects.
For more details, see Preparing the Target Exchange Environment for Exchange Migration.
Setting Up Connection with the Source Exchange Organization Using SMTP Connectors
On this fourth step you should set up the connection with the source Exchange organization using SMTP connectors. This task consists of three subtasks given below:
- Setting up the target Exchange 2007 organization for Internet mail flow between target and source Exchange organizations
- Configuring target DNS server for mail forwarding
- Testing the SMTP connectors (optional)
For more details, see Setting Up Connection with the Source Exchange Organization Using SMTP Connectors.
