Post-migration activities
Why and when to use the SSDM
Before running the SSDM
If you want to run the SSDM with App-V
Distribution of SSDM program and user communications
Migrating from a cached GroupWise mailbox
Did it work?
Customizing the SSDM
Silent mode options
Providing program entry values in gwdtapp.ini
Choices in the Specify Data for Migration screen
Outlook Profile in the Select Profile screen
Archive Destination Folder in the Specify Directory for Migrated Archive screen
Filter conditions in the Select Date and Size Filters screen
Hiding entire screens from the user
Hiding certain user choices on the Specify Data for Migration screen
For example: to migrate archives only
Command-line switches for running the SSDM in silent mode
Step 4 (optional): Prepare for any future migration
|
NOTE: Optional (But Recommended) Step: Even if you are certain you will have no need for any future migration, this step is still a good precaution. |
Step 5: Post-migration "cleanup"
If you will not need the GroupWise environment after the last user is migrated:
|
2 |
If you were using SMTP subdomains for mail coexistence: Delete the temporary migrate.domain.com MX domain. This is the temporary subdomain you created in the Pre-Migration Preparations, to support routing between GroupWise and Exchange during the transition. Now that all users have been migrated to Exchange and inbound traffic is routing directly to Exchange, the mail-forwarding rules and temporary subdomain should no longer be required. |
Migration to Office 365
Migration to Office 365
Migrator for GroupWise can be used to migrate to Microsoft’s Office 365 ("the cloud"), but the admin accounts must be configured differently than when migrating to a local Exchange. This is because the hosted Office 365 services are shared resources controlled by an external hosting entity (Microsoft), so access to remote hosted mailboxes must be enabled by the hosting entity. Access to Office 365 must be set at the mailbox level using Remote PowerShell, as documented later in this chapter—see Establishing permissions and access to Office 365.
