Managing the Admin Account Pool

Use the Admin Account Pool utility to manage your account pool. The utility lets you view the accounts in the pool, change the common password for all admin accounts in the pool, and/or change the number of accounts in the pool.

 

To make changes using the Admin Account Pool utility

1. Click Manage on one of the following screens:

   • In the MNE Notes Migration Manager, on the Exchange Server Configuration screen.

   • In the Data Migration Wizard, on the Select Destination Exchange Server screen.

     - OR -

     Run the program file (AdminAcctPoolManager.exe) independently.

     The Admin Account Pool utility contains a single screen that contains a table of the Admin pool accounts that are registered in the MNE database. Each time the program is started, it uses remote PowerShell to scan Microsoft 365 and synchronize the MNE list of accounts with the Microsoft 365 list.

2. Select the options that you want.

   • Click Refresh to refresh the Current Owner, Allocate Time and Use Count values in the table: These values change as migrations allocate, use, and release Admin pool accounts but you can get the current values by clicking Refresh.

   • Click Synchronize to resynchronize the utility’s list of accounts with Exchange and to view the current list of Microsoft 365 accounts registered in the MNE database. This is the same synchronization that the utility performs each time you start the program.

   • Reconfigure your Admin Account Pool by changing the values for any of these fields:

     ▫    Password: Enter a new password in the text box. The same password is assigned to all the pooled admin accounts.

     ▫    New pool size: Change the number of accounts in the pool by setting a new number in the

     New pool size field.

     NOTE: If you set the Newpoolsize to 0, or otherwise reduce the pool size, any licenses associated with accounts no longer in the pool become available for other accounts.

   • License AdminPoolAccounts: Select the check box to assign Microsoft 365 licenses to these accounts, or clear the check box to dissociate Microsoft 365 licenses from these accounts.

3. When you have entered the changes you want, click Apply.

   The Apply button applies the changes, automatically synchronizes with Microsoft 365, and refreshes the table display.

4. Click Close.

   While any of these operations are in progress, the status bar at the bottom of the screen displays progress information, and the Close button temporarily changes to a Cancel button.
