Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Release Notes

The parameter [Notes]DocLinksPreferCNForNotesUrl has been added.

When [General] HTMLdoclinks=3, migrate DocLinks to Exchange as Notes links (the default) and DocLinksPreferCNForNotesURL is set to (1), the Domino Server CN name is used.

782828

The new parameter [Notes] ReplaceForwardAddressInUserName has been added to MNE. When set to 0, MNE adds the Forward address to the User Name field without removing the existing address.

782722

The new parameter [ActiveDirectory] UseInternetAddressForUPN has been added to MNE. When set to 1, it tells the program to set the UPN to an internet address for the user when the object is provisioned.

778638

The parameter [Notes] PrependSmtpAddressToUsername has been updated and now applies when the coexistence method is SMTP.

776215

A new option has been added to the [Exchange] RemigrateMode parameter. When set to 2, it tells the program that if the source item in Notes was modified after a previous migration, delete the Exchange copy of the item and then remigrate it from Notes. If the source item in Notes has not been modified, leave the previously migrated copy in Exchange.

776044

When executing the “Prepare local Active Directory accounts for MS AD Sync” operation, allow user objects to retain their current mailNickname attribute value by configuring the optional [ActiveDirectory] AlwaysUseOldAlias parameter.

759845

If AD accounts have been created during the User Provisioning task, MNE is now able to provide the passwords of the newly created AD accounts to end users in the “You’ve Been Migrated” notification email that is sent when the data migration is complete.

774745

When MNE migrates MIME messages, it ignores message headers that do not use the standard RFC 822 format. With this enhancement, all message header information is migrated regardless of the format.

774239

725165

When MNE migrates MIME messages, some message body parts are extracted and added as attachments. With this enhancement, the message header information (From, To, Date, etc.) is added to the attachment.

773346

When migrating to Office 365, the attachment size filter can no longer be set to None.

The Attachment size defaults to 24.5 MB, which is the maximum message size allowed by Office 365.

767514

New INI parameters have been added to support modern authentication. See Support for modern authentication.

766489

By default, when the SSDM migrates an archive to a PST file, the SSDM registers the PST file in the Outlook profile. You can now prevent the PST file from being registered by setting the new SSDM parameter [Exchange] AddPstFilesToProfile to 0.

764575

Administrators can now disable the SSDM option to migrate encrypted messages. When the new parameter [General] AppDoesEncrypted=0, the Include Encrypted Messages option is not displayed on the Specify Data for Migration screen.

744536

You can elevate the Notes' Manager, Designer, and Editor access levels for the Mail-In database which have "Delete documents" rights to Full Access permission in the Exchange Shared mailbox by setting the new parameter ElevateMailInDBEditorAclToFullAccess=1.

741973

734440

When launching migrations using PowerShell, the user can choose to display and control the Data Migration Wizard progress window using the following new parameters:

733088

When migrating to on premises targets, Notes ACL rights are mapped to Exchange permission levels and applied recursively to migrated folders. This behavior can now be duplicated for Office 365 targets using the new parameter [Exchange] MigrateWellKnownFolderAclOnly.

732506

When executing Invoke-MNE PowerShell cmdlets that may take some time, a progress indicator is displayed.

732448

The owner “Editor” permission level is no longer added to the folder permissions in Exchange. The mailbox owner already has full access to the mailbox and all folders and messages in the mailbox.

728107

The pre-requisite checker now supports German and Chinese Office 365 tenants.

726210

The new INI setting [FolderTreeFilters] allows you to filter out an entire folder hierarchy. When a folder is specified using this setting, the specified folder and all its sub folders are excluded from the migration.

723720

The [Exchange] MaxExtractedImageArea INI parameter has been added to allow specification of a maximum size for images stored as attachments when [Exchange] ExtractEmbeddedImages=1. This feature was implemented to reduce the impact to migrated Exchange mailbox sizes when the migrated messages contain a significant number of large images.

738504

610913

438569

Improved the migration of recurring meeting update messages and cancellation messages. These improvements include:

683864

On the Data Migration wizard Personal Archive Location page, there are now additional configuration options for generated PST file names.

683852

The migration log file now contains additional information regarding skipped messages.

651571

During data migration, you can now open the new User Migration Status window from the Data Migration Wizard Task Progress and Task Completed pages by clicking the User Status button. The User Migration Status window displays detailed per-user migration status in real time during the migration.

By default, the migration status information is updated every 15 seconds. You can adjust the update interval with the new parameter [General] DetailedMigrationUserStatsUpdateInterval.

456413

Users can respond to a meeting request with a counter proposal. MNE now supports the migration of meeting counter proposals.

383276

227303

MNE now supports all Office 365 license plans that include an Exchange mailbox and permit connecting to that mailbox with Outlook and the Exchange Web Service (EWS).

MNE now supports multiple Office 365 SKUs.

When setting options in the Office 365 Administrative Operations screen in the Data Migration Wizard, MNE remembers the last selected Office 365 license plan and the disabled services, if any. However, this is not the case for users that have manually set licensing options in global settings using the parameters [Exchange]O365AccountSkuId and [Exchange]O365DisabledServicePlans. These settings were previously used support users with multiple Office 365 SKUs.

If they have been manually set, it is recommended that you remove these two parameters from global settings since they are no longer required.

321041

The ErrorsToIgnore INIs now work for provisioning and Directory Exporter.

237295

Migrated meeting invitations now appear in the calendar without first having to open the invitation in Outlook.

211841

A Notes distribution list has two owners but when migrated to Exchange, only one owner is provisioned. Both owners are now provisioned as Exchange distribution list managers.

199532

In the MNE Pre-Migration Planning Guide, the roles and permission setting for the SQL server have been reviewed and updated.

174073

Resolved an issue where migration statistics are not uploaded to the MNE console when the worker process crashes or is killed or, the migration is canceled.

786393

Resolved an issue where [Exchange] MigrateMeetingFYIAsResource=0 but FYI attendees are migrated as a Resource instead of an Optional Attendee.

785879

Resolved an issue where AD provisioning fails due to the settings used to Specify Method for Finding Objects in AD. In this scenario, provisioning fails when Choose a database column from the following is set to TargetAddress and Specify the Active Directory Attribute that matches is also set to TargetAddress.

784266

Resolved an issue where the Task Completion screen shows no real migration statistics when the worker processes are dead or the migration is canceled.

783506

Resolved an issue with a time delay during group provisioning. When the target is Office 365 and Active Directory Dir Sync is enabled, MNE must not try to call 'Disable-MailContact'.

783236

Resolved an issue with the latest Windows Server 2016 update KB4343887. When this update is installed, errors occur when opening the Admin Account Pool management utility.

782747

Resolved an issue that occurs when the DC is configured to prevent resource forest accounts from being enabled. In this scenario, MNE fails to create a mailbox for a user or resource and displays the error message "Unable to enable logon for ..."

782707

Resolved an issue where the wrong start time is displayed in the Schedule Summary window when running scheduled tasks.

781734

Resolved an issue where if a recurring calendar item has any instance changed after a previous migration, duplicate calendar items can occur when remigrating.

780858

Resolved an issue where in a number of scenarios, embedded graphic elements such as images and document links are rendered incorrectly at the end of the message's body after migration. When [Exchange] RewriteRTF is enabled (set to an integer other than 0), the graphic elements’ render positions in an RTF message body are impaired and cause this issue.

778656

Resolved an issue where the User Collection wizard crashes when exporting the collection to a TSV file.

778400

Resolved an issue where MNE migrates to the primary mailbox instead of the archive mailbox in one specific scenario. When migrating to an in-place archive mailbox with a shared MAPI profile using Outlook 2016, the primary mailbox is opened instead of the in-place archive mailbox.

776610

The MNE HTML parser has been updated to allow HTML5 syntax in cases where an HTML5 <doctype> declaration is not present.

774659

Migrated MIME encoded HTML emails with UTF-16 character encoding declared in the HEAD element of the message can appear in Outlook as garbled text.

This issue can be resolved using the new parameter [Exchange] UpdateHtmlWithMismatchedCharset. When the parameter is enabled, MNE checks for the character set in the HTML HEAD element and when found, the character set is replaced with the MIME header character set.

774144

Resolved an issue where TargetAlias values in the TSV file are truncated to 255 characters when imported using Import objects from TSV.

772684

Resolved an issue where the Locate Notes Store is not working as expected when multiple search folders are specified.

772376

Resolved an issue where MNE is unable to send notification messages to Office 365. In this scenario, when the target is Office 365 and no data is migrated, a user profile is not created and notification messages cannot be sent.

770714

Resolved an issue where Notes hyperlinks with HotspotBegin are not migrated.

769728

To resolve an issue where tasks are migrated with the wrong reminder time, the new parameter [Exchange] AdjustTaskReminderToMidnight has been added.

In Notes and iNotes, when users set a task reminder to X days, hours, minutes before or after the task start date, the alarm notification is triggered X days, hours, minutes before or after 12:01 PM of the task start date. When this parameter is set to the default value (1), after migration the alarm notification is triggered X days, hours, minutes before or after 12:00 AM instead of 12:01 PM.

501741

Draft calendar items are migrated to Exchange, but after migration they are not fully functional.

100000

MNE truncates a Notes user's name if the Domino name exceeds the maximum name length in Exchange, but any subsequent run of the Directory Export Wizard will generate a duplicate object record, since the Wizard will not recognize the truncated name compared to the Notes original.

100071

When the Data Migration Wizard removes forwarding from an Office 365 user, and there is no local AD, the Wizard successfully completes its run, but generates three errors-two of which are failed attempts to locate the user in AD.

100088

When a recurrence pattern for a series of meetings is supported in Notes but not supported in Outlook, and when the organizer OR attendee, but not both, has been migrated, some updates/cancelations/responses for single occurrences will not work.

227308

A migrated recurring meeting may not correctly show the accept/decline status of a Notes user to whom a meeting invitee delegated the invitation, when the delegation and the delegee's acceptance or decline occurred prior to migration.

242781

Exchange does not let other applications (including Notes Migrator for Exchange) set the owner property of items migrated to resource mailboxes.

57381

When migrating only iNotes contacts, the Notes Mail Files screen does not appear, so you cannot choose to migrate via the server or the file system. The program will run via file system if that's what you chose for your last migration, unless you go into the Task Parameters or INI file and change it.

57447

The MNE Migration Worker process may crash when configured to share a single MAPI profile across all worker processes. This issue only occurs when the MAPI/HTTP protocol is enabled. The product’s default configuration settings have been chosen to avoid this issue, but you may encounter this issue if the following combination of INI settings are used:

[Exchange]

AutodiscoverDisableMapiHttp=0

MapiUseSharedProfile=1

727841

If migrating to Exchange 2013 or 2010: When merging contacts or mailbox-enabling in a migration to an Exchange 2013 or 2010 environment configured for one forest and multiple domains, the Global Catalog and Domain Controller settings (on the Active Directory Configuration screen of the Notes Migration Manager) must be set to a server in the domain that contains the Active Directory user objects to be merged or mailbox-enabled.

75388

When migrating to Office 365 using the SSDM with Modern Authentication enabled, contacts cannot be migrated if the target mailbox is the Office 365 Online Archive mailbox. If the SSDM encounters this unsupported configuration, an error is logged and the migration is aborted.

790039

When migrating to Office 365 using the SSDM with Modern Authentication enabled, there is a known limitation when the migration target is not the root of the user’s primary mailbox. If the migration target is not the root of the user’s primary mailbox, only message content is migrated. Tasks and calendar appointments are not migrated.

This limitation includes the following scenarios:

The workaround in these scenarios is to migrate non-message content without using Modern Authentication.

790015

When migrating to Office 365 using the SSDM with Modern Authentication enabled, custom attributes configured with a custom attrs.tsv file are not supported. If the SSDM encounters this unsupported configuration, an error is logged and the migration is aborted.

787934

The SSDM may crash when installed on a non-English operating system with Outlook 2016 and [Notes]RewriteDocLinks=1.

To resolve the issue, set [Exchange]RewriteRTF=7.

709742

When migrating off-line, the HTMLdoclinks program parameter, in the [General] section of the Data Migration Wizard's task parameters, must be set to 0 (zero). The HTMLdoclinks=0 setting tells the Wizard to migrate Notes doclinks as Notes-style doclinks, which can be opened in Exchange only if a Notes client is installed on the client workstation. By default (HTMLdoc­links=1), Notes doclinks would migrate to Exchange as HTML-style links, which can be opened in a web browser if the user is able to use iNotes, but that default setting will cause errors in an offline migration.

30886

Outlook archiving is not applied to migrated messages within the age range set for auto-archiving, because Outlook determines message age by Last Modified time, which it updates to the migration date/time upon migration. Since all migrated messages become zero days old as soon as they are migrated, and Outlook won't let the Data Migration Wizard reset that property to its true pre-migration date/time, the Outlook archiving feature skips the messages until they have "re-aged" to the archive age (typically 30 days) following migration, at which time all of the migrated messages will be archived.
