Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.1


	Conditional Step: Applies only if you are using the Microsoft AD Sync tool to provision Office 365 from local Active Directory. If you are provisioning using Migrator for Notes to Exchange or some other method, you do not provision Office 365 until the Batch migration process described later in this chapter. Skip to step 13.

Microsoft AD Sync tool copies object data from your local Active Directory up to Office 365, and can provision mail-enabled objects into Office 365 without (yet) creating mailboxes. In this step:

Run the MNE Data Migration Wizard to Prepare local Active Directory accounts for MS AD Sync. This is a necessary administrative step that must precede your running the AD Sync tool.

Run Microsoft AD Sync tool to provision all users in all collections into Office 365 as mailbox-enabled users. At this point, the mailboxes are created.

Step 13: Assess per-user migration volume

Before you migrate any users, you should have a general sense of the volume of data to be migrated by each user, and in each user collection. Migrator for Notes to Exchange offers a Notes Data Locator Wizard that finds source data stores, and determines the per-user data volumes within those stores.

Run the Notes Data Locator Wizard now to find the source data and review per-user data volumes for all user collections, and to verify ownership of archives and PABs prior to migration. Select View Summaries | User and Resource Detail to review the per-user data volumes and to modify your collections to accommodate unexpected or atypical data volumes. See the Notes Data Locator Wizard chapter in the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Administration Guide. The View Summaries features are part of Notes Migration Manager, described in chapter 1 of the Administration Guide.

	Conditional Step: Applies only if you want to use the MNE Data Migration Wizard to batch-migrate data that resides on end-user workstations.

Migrator for Notes to Exchange includes several options for migrating data that resides on end-user workstations. One approach uses the MNE Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM), which offers an optional Silent Mode to minimize user interaction and impact. This approach is discussed in chapter 4 (SSDM (per-desktop) migration) of this guide.

Some scenarios require central migration of local Notes PABs and archives. The MNE Data Migration Wizard (in the Batch migration process, as described in this chapter) can migrate content to Exchange mailboxes, personal archives, or PST files. The program must have access to the source data. Migrator for Notes to Exchange includes a PAB Replicator feature to automate the process of replicating end-user PAB data to server-based NSFs or into the mail file of each user. Alternatively, the user local data could be copied to a central location by other means.

See chapter 9 of the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Administration Guide for information about how to use the MNE PAB Replicator.
