Resolved Issues
The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID Mailboxes could become stuck in a failed state. The MAgE log contains the following entries: "Error System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Failed to communicate with the mailbox database."
Scope:
Native Move migrations
Root-cause:
Platform changes to "ResourceUnavailable" and "ConnectionFailedTransientException" exception reporting in Native Move PowerShell cmdlets.
Fix:
Exception processing was updated to handle these platform changes.MMEX 276420 A NullReferenceException in SyncFolderHierarchy method. The error message "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." could appear.
Scope:
All MAgE migrations
Root-cause:
If a folder was deleted after synchronization was started, the Exchange server returns a null value as folder information, but MAgE still tries to access that field.
Fix:
MAgE will properly handle folders deleted after synchronization has started.MMEX-11179 When syncing data to Office 365, the error message "The server terminated an operation because it encountered a client request loop. Please contact your app vendor." could appear.
Scope:
Office 365 migrations
Root-cause:
If the service account name provided to Migration Manager for Exchange was not identical in its use of upper and lower case to the account name in Office 365, this circumstance causes the agent to repeatedly and unnecessarily request access tokens. This results in performance issues which can cause the error cited above.
Note that this can be avoided by ensuring that the service account name provided to Migration Manager for Exchange is identical to the account name in Office 365.
Fix:
The agent's comparison code was adjusted to be case-insensitive.MMEX-11163 Public Folder Synchronization Feature

Product Update 20210329EX
The following enhancements were implemented in this release:
Enhancement Issue ID The following Exchange versions have been verified and confirmed as completely supported migration sources and targets: - Microsoft Exchange 2019 including released Cumulative Update 9 and March 2021 out-of-band Exchange Server Security Updates
- Microsoft Exchange 2016 including released Cumulative Update 20 and March 2021 out-of-band Exchange Server Security Updates
- Microsoft Exchange 2013 including released Cumulative Update 23 and March 2021 out-of-band Exchange Server Security Updates
- Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP3 including Update Rollup 32 and March 2021 out-of-band Exchange Server Security Updates
MMEX-10800, MMEX-11044 Subfolders can be excluded from Public folder synchronization by MAgE.
Additional project option introduced: DetectNewSubPublicFolders.
There is a new “DetectNewSubPublicFolders” parameter added to Set-MMExProjectOptions/Get-MMExProjectOptions/Reset-MMExProjectOptions cmdlets to control whether to automatically migrate all or migrate some sub public folders which is specified in mapping file.
For example, there exist source public folder “\root” which contains sub folder "sub1" and "sub2", if user use Import-MMExPublicFolderMappings cmdlet to import the mapping file, and filter to exclude “sub2”. If parameter “DetectNewSubPublicFolders” is set to false, MMEx will only migrate “\root” and its sub folder “sub1”. If parameter “DetectNewSubPublicFolders” is set to true, MMEx will migrate “\root” with all the sub folders in it.
For details refer to the Configuring Migration Using PowerShell.MMEX-10815 The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID In certain situations, Import-MMExPublicFolderMapping could not create target public folders because of improper mailbox names and therefore migration could not start.
Scope:
Public folder job by the Migration Agent for Exchange (MAgE)
Root-cause:
Office 365 has a known issue where some tenant accounts create Public Folder mailbox names with an unnecessary, seemingly random suffix. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue and has added it to their development backlog. There is no ETA for implementation or delivery of a change, and no tracking ID is currently available.
Fix:
If this situation occurs, use the Change Import-MMExPublicFolderMapping cmdlet procedure. It will modify the Public Folder mailbox names to remove the incorrect suffix and name the folders as expected.MMEX-11035 Slow migration speed, SQL timeout errors in cases with large numbers of skipped and/or failed items.
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Root-cause:
Sub-optimal SQL server queries.
Fix:
SQL server stored procedures calls optimized, now makes one call per skipped or failed item instead of two. MAgE and SQL server load should be decreased in cases where there are many skipped and/or failed items.MMEX-4086 Errors “folder not found” during public folder scripts execution. Further migration of affected folders is impossible.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
Public folders created with PowerShell are not visible for EWS before replication completes.
Fix:
A waiting period for replication was added. The operations will be retried every 30 seconds, for a maximum of 30 minutes.MMEX-11020 Slow migration speed, SQL timeout errors, very large ICS_CACHE table on SQL server.
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Root-cause:
MAgE pre-caches all the items IDs in a SQL server table.
Fix:
MAgE migration workflow changed: Query a portion of items on Exchange server, cache with SQL server, migrate that portion of items, delete entries from SQL server, repeat.MMEX-7111 Some public folders failed to migrate.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
Microsoft bug: public folders unique IDs are not consistent.
Fix:
MAgE implements a workaround to fix public folders unique ids stored in the SQL database.MMEX-10433 Resync could be slow in cases of two-way synchronization.
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Root-cause:
MAgE logic error, source items processed twice.
Fix:
Fix the program logic to not reset source synchronization state twice.MMEX-10846 Migration of particular mailbox or public folder stuck on 99% and can never be completed.
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Root-cause:
MAgE logic issue: source exchange items which failed to migrate and later deleted on source can never be deleted from the SQL table which prevents migration completion.
Description:
MAgE logic fixed: If a source item does not exist anymore, delete the corresponding entries from the SQL table.MMEX-10847 Product Update 20201221EX
The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID If user migrate public folder from on-premise to office365 using two-way synchronization, it will generate duplicated public folder items reside at on-premise.
Scope:
Public Folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
The root cause is that MAgE agent will get different unique id when calling Microsoft EWS API even if for the same item or folder.
Fix:
Now MAgE add FixPublicFolderUniqueId and FixPublicFolderUniqueIdResyncFeature parameters on Set-MMExProjectOptions/Get-MMExProjectOptions/Reset-MMExProjectOptions cmdlets to fix this issue.
If set FixPublicFolderUniqueId to true, MAgE agent will automatically fix public folder’s unique id when migrating public folder from on-premise to office365 using two-way synchronization, otherwise MAgE agent will not adjust public folder item’s unique id.
If set FixPublicFolderUniqueIdResyncFeature to true, MAgE agent will automatically clean up the existed duplicate public folder items on on-premise side when resyncing public folders from on-premise to office365 using two-way synchronization, otherwise MAgE agent will not clean up the duplicated items.MMEX-10634 Product Update 20201118EX
The following enhancements are implemented in this release:
Feature Enhancement Issue ID Using new -PermissionOnly switch you can select to resynchronize content and permissions or to resynchronize permissions only. This parameter can be used both with Restart-MMExMailboxMigration and Restart-MMExPublicFolderMigration cmdlets. MMEX-10017, MMEX-1785 Collections can now be created not only from the Migration Manager Console UI, but can also be created using PowerShell. This release introduces the New-MMExCollection cmdlet to create collections. The parameter set for the New-MMExCollection cmdlet has now been updated to handle additional collection properties. For details refer to the Configuring Migration Using PowerShell. MMEX-10323 Get-MMexCollectionMember is now enhanced to return SMTP for collection members. Some parameter names are changed. For details refer to the Configuring Migration Using PowerShell MMEX-10377, MMEX-10471 Collections can now be removed not only from the Migration Manager console UI, but can also be removed using PowerShell. This release introduces the Remove-MMExCollection cmdlet to remove specified collections. MMEX-10379 You can now add members to specified collections using Add-MMExCollectionMember cmdlet. For details refer to the Collection Member Management. MMEX-10381 You can now remove specified members of specified collections using Remove-MMExCollectionMember cmdlet. For details refer to the Collection Member Management MMEX-10382 Support added for the scenario where two source organization names have the same name with different letter case. Now you can provide organization ID to specify unique organization. For details refer to Collection parameters subsection of Configuring Migration Using PowerShell User Guide section. MMEX-10240 Now new top level public folders can be detected and added to migration automatically by MAgE using DetectNewTopLevelFolders parameter for Set-MMExProjectOptions cmdlet. Both of the following conditions should be satisfied: - IPM_SUBTREE should be configured as public folder synchronization root folder. New top-level public folders will be detected on source (and target, respectively) only IPM_SUBTREE is processed by the MAgE
- DetectNewTopLevelFolders parameter should be set to True for current project.
MMEX-10276 A new parameter MinProcessingInterval is introduced for Set-MMExCollection, Get-MMExCollection and Reset-MMExCollection cmdlets. It specifies the minimum time interval in minutes that must pass before an item in collection can be processed again.
NOTE: if MinProcessingInterval is not set for a collection, the global interval set (MinMailProcessingInterval, MinCalendarProcessingInterval, MinNativeMoveProcessingInterval, MinPublicFolderProcessingInterval, MinMailProcessingIntervalInSync, MinCalendarProcessingIntervalInSync, MinNativeMoveProcessingIntervalInSync, MinPublicFolderProcessingIntervalInSync) by Set-MMExProjectOptions will be used. .MMEX-9689 The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID Public folder is not synchronized, and the following error is reported: Error Cannot bind to the root folder %FolderPath%. Inner exception: The specified object was not found in the store., The process failed to get the correct properties. And a manual check shows that the service account has not been granted client permissions for this public folder.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
Invalid source and target match may result in the removal of owner permissions for the service account on the target public folder. MAgE cannot sync this folder in the case.
Fix:
The permissions synchronization algorithm has been improved, and the corresponding error handling has been implemented. An incorrect matching will no longer prevent MAgE from syncing all valid data for a public folder.MMEX-10286 MAgE failed to synchronize data due to issue with message processing, and the following error is reported for the message: Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceResponseException: The specified object was not found in the store.
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Fix:
These messages will no longer prevent MAgE from syncing all valid data. Most of messages will be migrated succesfully. Refer to Known Issues in case the problem persists.MMEX-10624 Target public folder failed to be created in the specified mailbox using Import-MMExPublicFolderMapping cmdlet, and no event is reported.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
EWS cannot set pr_replica_list property for Microsoft Office 365 now and if the EWS was used to create the public folder, the public folder mailbox cannot be specified and the public folder is created in the mailbox containing its parent public folder.
Fix:
Now the processing algorithm is enhanced to avoid the issue and the public folder mailbox will be created properly.
NOTE: Import-MMExPublicFolderMapping cmdlet will create a transient public folder “MMExTransientFolder” under the root public folder, but it will be removed when this cmdlet is completed.MMEX-10581 Product Update 20200824EX
This release introduces the following features and enhancements:
- Migration Manager now supports scenarios supported by MAgE for migration to Microsoft Office 365 tenants where Basic Authentication is turned off. This change is intended to support disabling Basic Authentication announced by Microsoft. By default, the Modern Authentication (based on OAuth 2.0) only will be used after this update is installed.
IMPORTANT: Please consider, after Basic Authentication is deprecated by Microsoft, public folder synchronization by legacy Exchange agents will no longer be supported. We recommend that you start using public folder synchronization by MAgE instead. - The Microsoft Exchange 2013 organization is now supported as target for public folder synchronization by MAgE for all supported configurations. Refer to Public Folder Synchronization (MAgE) document for details.
The following enhancements are implemented in this release:
Feature Enhancement Issue ID General A new parameter PreferInternalEwsUrl is introduced for Set-MMExOrganizationProperties. If AutodiscoverUrl is specified for the Exchange organization and the PreferInternalEwsUrl parameter is set to True, MAgE will first try to use the internal EWS Url. The default is False, this means MAgE first tries the external EWS Url.
NOTE: The parameter is used only when AutodiscoverUrl is specified.MMEX-10098 Parameter set for Get-MMExCollection, Reset-MMExCollection, and Set-MMExCollection cmdlets is now updated to handle more collection properties. For details refer to the Configuring Migration Using PowerShell MMEX-9720, MMEX-9719, MMEX-9628, MMEX-10038 Mailbox Synchronization Mailbox switch process is now enhanced and MAgE will attempt to complete the mailbox immediately after SyncPeriodAfterSwitch passes. The MinMailProcessingIntervalInSync is not now used as reference, because it may take a long time to complete a mailbox according to the default interval values. MMEX-9688 Public Folder Synchronization All new subfolders of public folders that are already included in synchronization scope will be detected and automatically added to the project. For working migration projects no action is required. Consider, top-level public folders (not nested to the folders included in the synchronization scope) intentionally cannot be handled automatically and should be added as described in Public Folder Synchronization by MAgE document. MMEX-9908 Public Folder Synchronization feature is enhanced. Refer to Public Folder Synchronization (MAgE) document for job scheduling procedure and for additional information on Set-MMExGroupMatching and Sync-MMExMailPublicFolder cmdlets. MMEX-9507, MMEX-9508 Set-MMExGroupMatching cmdlet should only be used for the Microsoft Office 365 target, it is not required for on-premises targets. To handle on-premises migration scenarios, Set-MMExGroupMatching is not executed now as part of Start-MMExPublicFolderMigration. MMEX-10097 The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID Ready to switch status for migrated mailbox cannot be achieved and the following error message is reported:MigrationManagerForExchange.General.DotNet.AggrException: Exception of type 'MigrationManagerForExchange.General.DotNet.AggrException' was thrown. ---> MigrationManagerForExchange.Shared.Heart.MigrationManagerException: No mailbox with such guid. .
Scope:
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE.
Root-cause:
Mailbox synchronization may hang in case a calendar item that was already migrated has been deleted in the source.
Fix:
If the calendar item deletion matched with deleted source item cannot be handled due to an exception, MAgE reports the issue, and the target mailbox can be processed successfully.
Besides the error handling for such messages, additional validation of messages matching is implemented to avoid isssues described here and in MMEX-9164 resolved in the previous product update.MMEX-9510, MMEX-9270 Sync-MMExMailPublicFolder does not work and the following error is reported: Cannot find path 'HKCU:\Software\Quest Software\Migration Manager for Active Directory\Directory Migration' because it does not exist.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Fix:
The issue is now resolved.MMEX-9702 Product Update 20200428EX
This release introduced the following features and enhancements:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is now supported. For details refer to System Requirements and Access Rights document.
- The Microsoft Exchange 2016 organization is now supported as http://support.quest.com/technical-documents/migration-manager-for-exchange/8.15/user-guide/appendix-c-migration-of-recoverable-items-subfolders-optionaltarget for public folder synchronization by MAgE for all supported configurations. Refer to Public Folder Synchronization (MAgE) document for details.
- Migration of items from the following subfolders of Recoverable Items folder:
- Deletions
- Purges
- DiscoveryHolds
- Versions
The following enhancement is implemented in this release.
Feature Enhancement Issue ID General The following Exchange versions have been verified and confirmed as completely supported migration sources and targets: - Microsoft Exchange 2019 including released Cumulative Update 4
- Microsoft Exchange 2016 including released Cumulative Update 15
- Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP3 including released Update Rollup 30
MMEX-9277 LDAP Signing Configuration Requirements subsection is now added to System Requirements and Access Rights document. For details on Network security: LDAP client signing requirements policy refer to LDAP Signing Configuration Requirements. For working migration projects, no action is required.
Scope:
All supported scenariosMMEX-9165 The following is a list of issues resolved by this update.
Resolved issue Issue ID After nested public folder is moved to the root (matched with target All Public Folders), the matched target public folder is not moved to All Public Folders.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Root-cause:
The information about All Public Folders root folder was not stored properly.
Fix:
Now public folder moving to the root is handled properly by MAgE.MMEX-8097 Ready to switch status for migrated mailboxes cannot be achieved and the following trace is logged: Warning Item 'UniqueId' isn't deleted. Result = 'Error'. ErrorCode = '...'.
The following error code values can be reported in the message:- ErrorNonExistentMailbox
- ErrorInvalidIdMalformed
- ErrorAccessDenied
All migration scenarios supported by MAgE
Root-cause:
The problem occurs for the Calendar items that were previously migrated in another synchronization process. For example: target mailbox has been recreated; or the message has been copied from shared calendar of another mailbox. So matching of the item is pointing to the wrong target item which is not in scope of current migration.
Fix:
Processing algorithm is changed, MAgE now will treat the above errors as not critical for the current migration process and will synchronize the message. The informational trace will be logged for such messages: Info Item 'UniqueId' cannot be deleted. Result = 'Error'. ErrorCode = '...'.MMEX-9164 Migration Manager Recycle Bin should be excluded from processing scope.
Scope:
Public folder synchronization by MAgE
Fix:
Existing subfolders of source Migration Manager Recycle Bin are now excluded from processing scope. These subfolders will not be created in the target during synchronization, and the contents of these subfolders will not be migrated.MMEX-9352 Known Issues
The following known issue exists at the time of the update release:
Defect ID Issue Description MMEX-10166 Not suspended public folder is not synchronized, because it is marked as Failed in the project database.
Workaround: Resync this public folder to restart the synchronization for this folder.MMEX-9539 Quest Migration Manager 8.15 product updates should not be uninstalled from the list of installed updates in the Installed Updates section. The product update removal is not supported.
Workaround: You can only completely uninstall Quest Migration Manager for Exchange 8.15. For more information on how to perform the necessary operations in order to avoid possible issues, refer to the Post-Migration Activities document.Applicability of this hotfix
