What are the most minimum permissions needed in Domino to use Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange?
When Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange (NME) is used to migrate from Domino, the person running (NME) and the account specified within the 'Notes Server' area of the NME product needs to have specific permissions to complete all of its migration actions. Actions include:
- Migrating Mail
- Send "You've been migrated" messages to Notes mailboxes
- Set/Remove forwarding
- Set 'Allow foreign directory synchronization'
- Set user visibility
Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange manages all of these activities, but uses basic Domino/Notes commands to perform these actions. Certain environments dictate that certain rights, roles and permissions cannot be granted to one user. For Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange to be able to perform all of these activities successfully, certain Domino permissions, rights and roles must be granted to a migration account. The linked document will use a simple one Domino Server scenario to describe (and show) how to grant the least amount of Domino permissions/rights/roles to enable a non-authoritative (or limited permission) account to perform a migration from Domino.
NOTE: This document is used for informational purposes only using a very basic Domino structure. For larger, more complex environments, further investigation on the part of the end-user will be warranted. If the provided information here does not allow for the said actions to work successfully, Quest Technical Support will request that the recommended permissions/rights/roles given from the current Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange "System Requirements" be implemented.
