Migrating to office 365 from exchange 2010
We can keep track of the migrations using the Exchange Management Shell by calling the Get-MoveRequest cmdlet, again specifying the BatchName then piping the output to Get-MoveRequestStatistics to gain a detailed insight into our current batch of migrations: You can mitigate against this by either performing additional incremental backups during mailbox migrations or temporarily turning on circular logging. This means that you can only move as many mailboxes as log space allows in between regular backup jobs. When a mailbox is moved, log files consuming the same amount of space as the mailbox itself are generated. If you are using traditional backups on your Exchange 2016 server then take into account the impact of log file usage when determining the batch sizes. Get-Mailbox -Database | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase -BatchName For each database, you can queue up mailboxes to be moved using the following command: The first method applies if you have created equivalent databases to match your source Exchange 2010 environment. When migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016, we’ve got a number of methods that can be used to migrate mailboxes in large numbers. Many smaller organizations will find most pilot candidates within the IT department, but if you have users who are keen to be early adopters outside of IT, then you’ll get a better representation of real issues. They should provide feedback on any issues they encounter, and will represent a cross-section of end-users for example users that are heavy mobile users, those that are primarily external users and those that regularly use features like shared calendars and delegation.

Migrating Mailboxes to Exchange 2016 Migrating the Pilot Groupīefore migrating mailboxes en-mass to Exchange 2016, it’s important to validate that you’ve had an opportunity to identify any issues that using and moving test mailboxes didn’t expose.įirst we will select a pilot group of users to migrate to Exchange Server2016. After this completes we will decommission Exchange Server 2010. In the final part of this series, we’ll begin the migration of mailboxes to Exchange Server 2016.
