Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.1 - SSDM User Guide

Migrating Data

The Migrating Data screen shows you the status of the migration process, including your address books, mail file, and archive. It also displays the folder name and the overall migration progress.

For Office 365 targets, the Microsoft Sign in window may open. This occurs when the MNE Exchange Server Office 365 setting Use Modern Authentication for SSDM is turned on. To continue with the migration, you must log in with the credentials for migrating the mailbox data. The access token issued after a successful login is stored in a local temporary folder and you are not prompted to log in again during subsequent migrations.

The program displays the final Migration Report screen when the process is complete.

If you are running this migration on a workstation with the Microsoft Vista operating system, the Windows Firewall may post a Security Alert. Click Keep blocking to dismiss the alert. The alert and your reply to it are irrelevant to the migration process. Since the Unblock option would prompt you for administrator credentials, the Keep blocking option is the easiest way to dismiss the alert.

Migration Report

The Migration Report screen appears after the migration process is completed. The screen indicates whether the migration of your Notes data was successful.

If your migration is successful, click Exit to close the program and you can start Outlook normally. Your personal address books are migrated to contact folders in your new Exchange mailbox. Data from your Notes mail file is in your Exchange mailbox. Data from your Notes archive is placed in a personal folders file (.pst) that has the same filename as the source .nsf file.

The SSDM can be configured to display an Error Log Report button that lets you view the program log file for information about errors that occurred during the program run. From the Error Log Report, you can also save the log file or print a copy for your system administrator. (The Error Log Report button does note appear if no errors occurred, or if your migration administrator configured the SSDM to disable it.)

When you are finished

After the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM) completes its run, you can turn on any antivirus software that you disabled prior to the program run (see Before you begin... ). If you don’t know how, ask your system administrator for help.

If mail folders do not open after migration

If any of your PST files (Mail Folders) do not open in Outlook after your migration, the likely cause is that you neglected to turn off a desktop-search application prior to running the Self-Service Desktop Migrator.
