For more information about the Directory Exporter and how to use it, including screen-by-screen field notes, see the Directory Exporter chapter of the Migrator for GroupWise Administration Guide.
Remember that Migrator for GroupWise’s Directory Exporter creates a UsersToMigrate.csv file each time it runs, beginning in the Pre-Migration Preparations but also when refreshing user data as in step 2 above. The UsersToMigrate.csv contains records for all GroupWise users, but an administrator typically uses the Batch Migrator to migrate subset groups of a few dozen users at a time. (See Grouping Users for Batch Migration in chapter 3 of Migrator for GroupWise’s Pre-Migration Planning Guide for information about determining the optimum size of user batches.) You can use the UsersToMigrate.csv file as a template to create subset user-list CSV files for the Migrator for GroupWise Batch Migrator. To prepare a user-list file, use Microsoft Excel to:
1 |
Open UsersToMigrate.csv and Save As a new CSV filename (for example, migr01.csv for your first migration group, or migmktg.csv for users in the Marketing Department). You must save the file in CSV format, not as an Excel Workbook or any other file type. |
If you will access GroupWise data by proxy: You can use the CSV file generated by Migrator for GroupWise’s AddProxy utility as your user-list file—modified if necessary to accommodate any special circumstances as noted below. The AddProxy Utility chapter of the Migrator for GroupWise Administration Guide explains how each successful run of the program, per user, generates a record of the user in a file, designated in your addproxy.ini file as the SuccessLog. This file thus contains a current list of all users who have granted the necessary proxy rights, and are thereby eligible for migration by proxy.
Optional Modifications to the user-list CSV file:
NOTE: If any of the Optional Modifications listed here applies to your migration, it will usually be more efficient to make those modifications to the master UsersToMigrate.csv file (for the entire universe of users) before using that file as a template for subset user-list files, as described above. |
Review these circumstances and determine if any of them apply to your migration scenario:
If any of these or similar circumstances apply in your migration, please see the article titled Which columns are required and which can be added or modified in the CSV user list? in the Migrator for GroupWise Knowledge Base.
If your local Active Directory still includes any objects that you do not want copied to Office 365, remove them now. The DirSync you will perform in the next step below will copy all user objects from the local server.
Run Migrator for GroupWise’s Admin-Driven Batch Migrator to prepare the accounts in your local AD for provisioning into Office 365 by Microsoft’s DirSync tool. On the Batch Migrator’s Exchange Administrative Operations screen, mark the checkbox for Prepare local Active Directory accounts for MS DirSync.
