Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Pre-Migration Planning Guide


	IMPORTANT: You must use different user accounts for the Exchange Account and the Active Directory Account. You must not use one account for both purposes. Using one account for both purposes results in conflicting mailbox permissions that prevents MNE from being able to access the exchange mailboxes when migrating mailbox data.

Active directory account

An AD admin account is configured for access to Active Directory containers and objects, corresponding to Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s AD Information screens. This must be a domain user account with full access to the target OU. If the contacts will be merged with existing Active Directory user objects, the account must have full control of the OUs/containers where the AD user objects currently reside. This ensures Migrator for Notes to Exchange has sufficient access to properly join to the merged user objects, and prevents the creation of duplicate contacts.

To set AD container permissions in Exchange 2010 or later:

•

Use PowerShell to assign the necessary permissions to the AD admin using the following cmdlet (where <UserAcct> is the admin’s SecurityPrincipalIdParameter):

Add-RoleGroupMember 'Organization Management' -member <UserAcct>

•

Also, for Exchange 2010 or later (only):

This admin account must be configured with remote PowerShell enabled using the following Exchange Shell command:

Set-User <alias> -remotepowershellenabled $true

... where <alias> is the AD account to which you are granting access.

Other Active Directory configuration considerations

Table 1.
To configure for more than 1000 OUs in AD	LDAP policy can be configured to accommodate more than 1000 OUs in Active Directory, by adjusting the max items returned by ADSI interface. See these Microsoft links for LDAP Policies.
If AD is configured for a resource forest and a user forest	In the resource forest, Migrator for Notes to Exchange requires the standard permissions cited above. In the user forest, Migrator for Notes to Exchange requires an account with read permissions to the AD, such as a domain user. Migrator for Notes to Exchange makes no changes to the user forest; it only performs searches.

Exchange account

A Exchange account is configured to provide Exchange credentials from Migrator for Notes to Exchange, corresponding to Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s Exchange Information screens, and must be configured with Receive As rights to each mailbox store.

To set Receive As rights in Exchange 2010 or later, for all mail stores, use the following PowerShell command (in one continuous line):

get-mailboxdatabase | add-adpermission -user <username> -extendedrights receive-as

Account permissions for migration to Office 365

This section applies only if you are migrating to Microsoft’s Office 365. If you are migrating to a proprietary Exchange, see the preceding section for those configuration requirements.


	IMPORTANT: When migrating to Microsoft’s Office 365, it is particularly important to involve your IT security specialists early in the project planning, to accommodate all of the account permissions and configuration requirements that are unique to the hosted system.


Administrator Role	Migrator for Notes to Exchange performs many administrative tasks, including creating new user accounts, resetting passwords, granting and revoking permissions, etc. To ensure that the Migration Administration account has the required access rights, assign the Migration Administration account to the Office 365 Global Administrator role.
Application impersonation	The migration admin account must be configured with application impersonation, by this PowerShell cmdlet (in one continuous line): New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "ApplicationImpersonation" –User <userid>
Migration to Office 365 via MS AD sync	The local AD server must have Exchange 2016 (RTM) or Exchange 2013 (RTM or SP1) or Exchange 2010 (SP1) schema extensions.
Migration from an MSP-hosted Notes source	The Managed Service Provider must provide the Notes ID file, manager access to all mailboxes in scope for the migration, and reader access to the NAB.

SQL server configuration

SQL bulk import directory

The SQL bulk import directory (specified in the SQL Server Configuration screen of Notes Migration Manager) must be accessible to all migration servers, and to the user that the SQL Server will run as.

Account permissions

Both Windows Authentication and SQL Authentication are supported.

•

When using Windows Authentication, the Windows user logged in to the migration server must be assigned the dbcreator server role in order to create the database and tables. The bulkadmin server role is also required in order to perform database bulk import using the specified bulk import directory.

•

When using SQL Authentication, the SQL user must be granted the server roles dbcreator and bulkadmin in order to perform required database operations using the specified bulk import directory.

MNE uses the bulk import directory to substantially improve program performance when importing data from the Domino directory. Permissions must be set so that the SQL Server can read and write to this directory.

•

When using Windows Authentication, the Windows user logged in to the migration server must be granted full read/write access to the bulk import directory.

•

When using SQL Authentication, the SQL user cannot be authenticated outside of the Database Engine. In order for MNE to perform a bulk import, the account used by the SQL server Database Engine must be granted permission to access the bulk import directory.

NOTE: Once the NME40DB database is created and tables populated, the dbcreator server role assigned to either the Windows user or SQL user is no longer required. The db_owner role is sufficient and is automatically granted to the Windows or SQL user when NME40DB is created.

Migrator for Notes to Exchange admin migration server(s) configuration


User account permissions	When you install the Migrator for Notes to Exchange software on the migration server, you have the option to run the Prerequisite Checker. In order to run this utility, the account used to log in to the migration server must be a member of the Microsoft Organization Management role group.
Language	Migrator for Notes to Exchange requires the English-language edition OS/PowerShell on the admin workstation.
For all supported Windows servers	Data Execution Prevention (DEP) must be disabled in Windows system settings.
Locale	Upon migration, standard mail folders assume the names of their corresponding Outlook folders in the language associated with the Windows Locale setting of the admin’s migration server.
Parallel workstations	To accelerate large-scale migrations, Migrator for Notes to Exchange may be run on multiple migration servers running in parallel.
Order of installation	A migration requires a combination of tools developed by different vendors, all installed on a single admin workstation. The combination can cause compatibility problems on some machines. To minimize these conflicts, Quest recommends you install the applications (per specifications noted below) in this order: 1. Notes client 2. Outlook client 3. Windows Management Framework or MS PowerShell
Workstation hardware	Must be a separate machine from the Exchange server, but a member of the same domain as AD and Exchange. May be a virtual machine, but a dedicated "actual" machine will likely yield better migration performance.
Required for all destination Exchange target types, including Office 365	Must have a directory with write/execute permissions for the Administrator components of the Quest software, and must have a directory with read/execute permissions for the user components of the software. 32-bit edition (only) of Outlook 2016, 2013, or 2010 must be set as the default mail client. If migrating to Exchange 2016 or 2013, or to Office 365, the required Outlook client must conform to Microsoft's requirements for Exchange 2016 or 2013 or Office 365, respectively. The MAPI DLLs required to perform a migration must be those that are part of Outlook, not the downloadable Exchange "server" MAPI. Prior to running any Migrator for Notes to Exchange admin application: Any antivirus software must be configured to not scan the Migrator for Notes to Exchange program files directory or %temp% directory, or may be simply turned off, but may be restored after the program runs. If an antivirus scan misinterprets an Migrator for Notes to Exchange temporary file as a threat, it will try to "clean" the file, which will generate an error when the Migrator for Notes to Exchange program call fails.
Also required for migration to Exchange 2016, 2013 or 2010, or Office 365	On the Migrator for Notes to Exchange server as the Administrator, launch Windows PowerShell (x86) on 64-bit OS or Windows PowerShell on 32-bit OS and execute this command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser
If Outlook Anywhere is the required Outlook client on the admin workstation	For MAPI access: Use PowerShell to set RCAMaxConcurrency, RCAPercentTimeInAD, RCAPercentTimeInCAS and RCAPercentTimeInMailboxRPC to 100.
For RPC over HTTPS	Run the PowerShell commands EWSMaxConcurrency, EWSPercentTimeInAD, EWSPercentTimeInCAS and EWSPercentTimeInMailboxRPC.

Port assignments on Migrator for Notes to Exchange admin server(s)


For O365 target, inbound (O365 to Migrator for Notes to Exchange)	No inbound ports are required.
For O365 target, outbound (Migrator for Notes to Exchange to O365)	443 – PowerShell 443 – Outlook (RPC over HTTP/Outlook Anywhere) 80 – Autodiscover 443 - Autodiscover These should be open from source to *, since Microsoft often changes the IPs of their servers.
For Exchange 2016 or Exchange 2013 target:	443 to MBX server - mail migration 80 & 443 to CAS server - autodiscover 3268 to GC - AD searches 389 to DC - AD writes 443 to CAS server - powershell 1352 to Lotus Domino - mail migration, directory extraction
For Exchange 2010 target:	80 & 443 & MAPI* to CAS server - autodiscover 3268 to GC - AD searches 389 to DC - AD writes 80 & 443 to CAS server - powershell 1352 to Lotus Domino - mail migration, directory extraction 1433 to SQL - SQL *MAPI uses RPC, which is covered in this Microsoft technote.
