Scenario: Migrate mailboxes from one Exchange Server to another

To migrate a mailbox, you need to use the MoveMailboxTo attribute provided for the Mailbox object. Update the value of the MoveMailboxTo attribute, so that it includes the name or GUID of the Exchange Server database to which you want to move the mailbox. As a result, the mailbox is migrated to the Exchange Server computer that hosts the specified database.

Before migrating mailboxes, consider the following:

You can only migrate mailboxes between Exchange Servers that belong to the same Exchange organization.

If the computers between which you want to migrate mailboxes run the same version of Exchange Server, make sure they have either no or the same Exchange Server Service Pack installed.

Migrating a mailbox includes the following steps:

• Step 1: Configure a connection to Exchange Server
• Step 2: Create a new synchronization workflow
• Step 3: Configure a step to update MoveMailboxTo attribute value
• Step 4: Run your synchronization workflow

Step 1: Configure a connection to Exchange Server

Configure a connection to the Exchange Server you will use to move the mailbox object. See the table below to determine which Exchange Server you must use to perform the move operation in a particular migration scenario.

For instructions on how to configure a connection to Exchange Server, see Creating a new connection to Exchange Server.

Step 2: Create a new synchronization workflow

For instructions on how to create a new synchronization workflow, see the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine Administrator Guide.
