About the Migration Reports

When you are planning to migrate to a newer version of Exchange, or from a different messaging platform to Exchange, you can use the migration reports to assess the progress of your mailbox migration.

Many of these reports can also be found under other nodes in the reports tree. The reports that are useful for pre-migration assessment, migration management, and post-migration analysis are grouped under the Migration node for your convenience.

Inventory Reports

As part of pre-migration planning, use the inventory reports to determine the scope of the migration from the source platform. During and after migration, use the inventory reports to evaluate whether the migration to the target Exchange organization is complete.

The following reports are found in the Inventory folder:
