How do I consolidate multiple on-premises email organizations to a single on-premises Destination?
Answer:
Migration Planning is required if you are dealing with multiple mail organizations on-premises that need to be consolidated into one single organization, the same mail system (e.g., Exchange) but with different versions, or when dealing with a mixed environment (e.g., with GroupWise and Exchange).
Take the following scenario of a mixed environment as an example:
- a GroupWise environment
- an Exchange 2003 Source environment
- an Exchange 2007 Destination environment
to be migrated to an Exchange 2013 environment.
With MigrationWiz, perform the following steps:
- Set up your Exchange 2013 environment, and create all the mailboxes on the Destination environment.
- Create a MigrationWiz account on your Exchange 2003/2007 and 2013. Click article to set up the GroupWise migration.
- Create a project in MigrationWiz with a Source of Exchange 2003+ and a Destination of Exchange 2007+ (Exchange 2003 environment).
- Fill in the OWA URL and the administrator accounts you created.
- Create a project in MigrationWiz with a Source of Exchange 2003+ and a Destination of Exchange 2007+ (Exchange 2007 environment).
- Fill in the OWA URL and the administrator accounts you created.
- Create a project in MigrationWiz with a Source of GroupWise and a Destination of Exchange 2007+ (GroupWise environment).
- Attach the mailboxes to the appropriate project and start the migration.
