. Exchange Mailbox and Unified Messaging Bulk Migration Tool ========================================================== This tool is used to move Mailboxes in Exchange from Microsoft Exchange Server to Microsoft Exchange Online or vice versa. Select the menu option **Bulk Migration Tools > Exchange > Migrate Mailboxes**. Select one of the following Migrate Actions: * Online to On-Prem * On-Prem to Online When the selected Migration Action changes, the users available to be moved is populated as follows: * When the "Online to On-Prem" migrate action is selected, the list of users shows current Exchange Online users (with Exhange Hybid Remote Mailboxes) in the selected hierarchy. * When the "On-Prem to Online" migrate action is selected, the list of users shows current Exchange Mailbox users in the selected hierarchy. The Quick Add Group is used to specify the details of the services activated for the user. The details of the Mailbox and the Unified Messaging Account specified in the templates of the Quick Add Groups is used to update the target Mailbox and UM Mailbox. Logic for determining the Licenses and Service Plans assigned to the user: * **On-prem to online**: The user's existing licenses and enabled service plans are merged with the service plans specified under Exchange in the Quick Add Group selected. * **Online to on-prem**: Service plans related to Exchange Online are removed from the user's existing licenses if present. Quick Add Groups are not taken into account. The RemoteHostName parameter specifies the FQDN of the cross-forest organization from which you're moving the mailbox. The TargetDeliveryDomain parameter specifies the FQDN of the external email address created in the source forest for the mail-enabled user when the move request is complete. This parameter is applicable when performing remote moves with the Remote or RemoteLegacy parameter. When Migrating the User from Microsoft Exchange Online to Microsoft Exchange then the Remote Target Database can be specified. If it is not specified the default value will be derived from the Microsoft Site Defaults. During Quick Add Subscriber operations, the value for the following settings are derived from the VOSS Microsoft Default settings for each site: * Remote Host Name * Target Delivery Domain * Remote Target Database The users that need to be moved can be specified by selecting a list of users (identified by UserPrincipalName) to move. **NOTE**: In order for the the migration to be completed the Multi-stage provisioning workflow needs to be executed to process users in each of the steps in the workflow. The amount of time and frequency with with the multi-stage provisioning workflow needs to be executed is dependant on the size of the migration, the types of licenses used for each user group, the amount of Microsoft Skype Front End Pools, Exchange On-Prem servers and connections to Microsoft Online. Refer to the best practices recommended by VOSS Global Services.
