MigrationWiz now offers the option to migrate recoverable items in Microsoft 365 and Exchange environments. This option is applicable to Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 migration scenarios and Exchange (2013+ or Hosted) to Microsoft 365 migration scenarios.

Migrating Litigation Hold Data for Inactive Users

Inactive mailboxes are not supported with MigrationWiz. To migrate these users, activate them and migrate as part of a regular migration. Use the steps in this Microsoft document to restore the mailboxes before migrating: Restore an inactive mailbox

Archived recoverable items may now also be migrated for Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 migrations only. 

This will migrate the following recoverable items:

• Mail
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Tasks
• Journals
• Notes

The following folder types are supported:

• Recoverable items: Deletions
• Recoverable items: Purges
• Recoverable items: Versions
• Recoverable items: DiscoveryHolds

 Important: Subfolders for Recoverable and Archived Recoverable items are not supported.

Migration Steps

Recoverable Items

To migrate Recoverable Items, follow the steps below. 

1. Create a new Mailbox migration project.
2. Set source and destination to "Recoverable Items."
   
3. Add the following Support Option:
   • MigrateAllRecoverableItems=1 This option is needed to enable recoverable items migration. 
   • OverrideRecoverableItemsFolderMapping=1 This option will apply folder mappings from source to destination for Deletions, Purges, and Versions. Without this item, all source folders will be migrated to Recoverable items -> Deletions.
     
     
4. Start migration by selecting only "Mail" items in the "Select what to migrate" section. This will migrate all items. However, the folder type for recoverable items is recognized as a Mail folder by MigrationWiz. 

Archived Recoverable Items

1. Set up a Personal Archive Project.
2. Set the source and destination to "Archive Recoverable Items."
   
3. Add the following Support Options:
   • MigrateAllRecoverableItems=1. This option is needed to enable recoverable items migration. 
   • OverrideRecoverableItemsFolderMapping=1. This option will apply folder mappings from source to destination for Deletions, Purges, and Versions. Without this item, all source folders will be migrated to Recoverable items -> Deletions.
     
     
4. Start migration by selecting only "Mail" items in the "Select what to migrate" section. This will migrate all items. However, the folder type for recoverable items is recognized as a Mail folder by MigrationWiz. 

Both source and destination endpoints must be in Microsoft 365 for this option to be visible.
This is specific to Archive Recoverable Items.

Considerations

Default Support Options for Microsoft 365 Endpoints

By default, some fields are view-only. In other words, you cannot edit or remove them from the support options page. To edit them, you need to edit the source or destination endpoint of your project.

Among these default options, you can find ModernAuthClientIdExport, ModernAuthTenantIdExport, ModernAuthClientSecretExport, ModernAuthClientIdImport, ModernAuthTenantIdImport, and ModernAuthClientSecretImport. 

The support options above are required when configuring your endpoint.
