Migrator Pro for Exchange Default Installation

To run the Default Installation option in the Installation wizard:

Once the PowerShell commands are successfully executed, navigate to the folder where you saved the Migrator Pro for Exchange Installation files, then right-click on the Migrator Pro for Exchange install file and select Run as Administrator.

 

Click Run on the security warning, and then click Next on the Welcome screen.

 

The wizard prompts you to review and accept the Migrator Pro for Exchange license and software transaction agreement. To accept the agreement, select the I read,  understand, and accept… radio button and click Next.

 

If you accept the license terms the wizard then prompts you to choose between Default Installation and Advanced Installation. Choose the Default Installation option.

NOTE: If the Migrator Pro for Exchange Installer detects a previous version of Migrator Pro for Exchange, it will skip this screen that offers the Default Installation option, and will perform an upgrade using the Advanced Installation process.  Even if a prior Migrator Pro for Exchange version has been uninstalled, the Installer will still perform the installation as an upgrade (by an Advanced Installation) if it finds this entry remaining in the Windows registry: HK_Local_Machine\Software\Binary Tree\E2E If you have uninstalled a prior Migrator Pro for Exchange version and now want to run the Default Installation option for the new version, you must first remove that entry from the registry.

 

The wizard then prompts you for the SQL Server Authentication Password. Enter a password for use during SQL installation for the Server Authentication (SA) account.

When ready, choose Install.

NOTE: To avoid installation and authentication issues, do not use the following characters in this password: } ^ < > " ' | ;

 

The wizard then scans your environment to gather the information it needs, and to determine whether you need to install any of several required prerequisite applications.  They will be installed automatically if they are not present.

• Windows features IIS and .NET Framework 4.8 full

• SQL Server 2022 Express

  • [local]\SQLEXPRESS installs as a named instance using the format servername\SQLExpress

  • Installs in Mixed mode with install account as SA (System Administrator). The SQL Server Authentication Password you entered on the previous panel will be used for the SA account.

A progress meter shows the wizard’s progress:

On the Enter a Passphrase... screen, enter a passphrase to secure secrets stored in the SQL database. Then choose Next.

Store this phrase in a secure place for future reference. This phrase will be needed for all installations that access the SQL database.

 

The wizard then prompts you for the login credentials Migrator Pro for Exchange should use for its MCP Service and the Migrator Pro for Exchange AppPool.  Enter the credentials and choose Next.

 

 

The installation resumes when you choose Next. A progress meter shows the progress, and notifies you when the installation is complete. Choose the Finish button to close this portion of the wizard. Another progress meter shows the process progress through this last phase of the installation, and the wizard then notifies you when the process is complete. Choose this Finish button to close the Migrator Pro for Exchange Installer.

Now that the physical installation is complete, see Configuring Migrator Pro for Exchange to configure Migrator Pro for Exchange for your environment and purposes. The first time you run the Migrator Pro for Exchange Admin Console after this installation, Migrator Pro for Exchange will prompt you to define your target forest.
