Notes Migration Manager Wizards

Notes Migration Manager Wizards

The following wizards are launched from the Notes Migration Manager:

  • NAB Discovery Wizard: Searches the Notes/Domino server to locate all Notes NABs (Name and Address Books). The Directory Export Wizard and Internet Domains Discovery Wizard extract critical directory information from the NABs which is read by the MNE provisioning and migration wizards so that they can perform their tasks.

  • Internet Domains Discovery Wizard: Extracts all the Internet domains it finds within the Notes NABs (Name and Address Books) that were located by the NAB Discovery Wizard. The domains are used to generate address aliases for all users so that Exchange can recognize and correctly route mail sent to the user old addresses.

  • Directory Export Wizard: Gathers user information from the Domino server to create the SQL Server data tables that provide critical input data to the MNE provisioning and migration wizards.

  • Collection Wizard: Used to define the member contents of user and group collections. Provisioning, migration, and other functions are applied to collections of users and groups, and the Collection Wizard is where you create the collections. You can add members to a collection by selecting objects from Active Directory or by importing the contents of a .tsv (tab-separated-value) file, or both.

  • Groups Provisioning Wizard: Defines a task that provisions the distribution groups (creates group objects) within Active Directory from a designated group collection, and schedules the task to run at a particular time, or at a series of recurring times.

  • Notes Data Locator Wizard: Defines a task that locates the data files in the Notes source for a specific user collection, or gathers statistics from previously located data stores, and schedules the task to run at a particular time or at a series of recurring times.

  • Provisioning Wizard: Provisions objects in local Active Directory from Notes user data previously exported from Domino to the MNE SQL database. The Provisioning Wizard consolidates any duplicate objects in AD by merging information from Exchange contacts (generated by a directory update, typically using the Quest CMN Directory Connector) into corresponding user AD accounts, and deleting the contacts, to leave a single mail-enabled security object per user.

  • Send PAB Replicator Wizard: Sends a special email form to users in a particular user collection that lets the users copy their PABs (personal address books) to a centralized Notes server directory, from which the Data Migration Wizard can find them and migrate them.

  • Data Migration Wizard: Defines a task to perform some combination of the following functions for users in a collection:

    • Migrate user data for all users within a particular user collection.

    • Mailbox-enable existing AD accounts.

    • Set and remove mail-forwarding.

    • Disable foreign directory sync in the Notes source.

    • Set user visibility in the Notes source.

  • Self-Service Desktop Migration Statistics Collection Wizard: Gathers migration statistics written by the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM) and loads the data to the SQL database to help you track the progress of the migration project.

 

 

About Migrator for Notes to Exchange statistics

About Migrator for Notes to Exchange statistics

The Notes Migration Manager and several of the MNE wizards report data statistics from the Notes environment such as sizes of message stores, data volumes migrated, and so on. The statistics, and corresponding throughput, that are reported are based on uncompressed data sizes as provided by the Notes APIs. The APIs extract the data in a compressed format and subsequently provide the data to MNE in an uncompressed state. As a result, the data amounts reported by MNE are likely higher than the numbers observed natively in Notes or the volumes transferred over the network to the migration servers.

 

Notes Migration Manager navigation drawer

Notes Migration Manager navigation drawer

The MNE console navigation drawer in the top right corner contains the following options.

 

Global Default Settings

Global Default Settings

Click Global Default Settings to export the default program-configuration information from the SQL database to a text-only format and to launch Windows Notepad to view and edit the file. For information and procedural instructions, see Appendix A: How Do I Add or Edit Program Parameters?

In Notepad, the settings look like the contents of an INI file but are saved as a part of the SQL database. When you close Notepad, Notes Migration Manager copies the new parameter values to the SQL database.

NOTE: Editing the Global Default Settings does not change any program configuration for previously created tasks. Wizards retrieve Global Default Settings only as they create tasks, not when they run tasks.
