This module covers the steps to run a mailbox migration project in MigrationWiz. You will see how to perform a verification of mailbox credentials, perform a Pre-Stage migration pass, perform a full Delta migration pass after the MX record cutover, and review the migration statistics. Continue to the next module when have finished viewing this video, completed the lab exercise, and taken the Knowledge Check.
In this lab exercise, you will run a migration project in MigrationWiz.
Prerequisites
- Completion of the module
- Registration for MigrationWiz.
- User Migration Bundle licenses to run the migration
Lab Exercise
Complete these steps to verify credentials for a configured mailbox migration project:
- Sign in to MigrationWiz at this web address: https://migrationwiz.bittitan.com
- Click the Workgroup in which the mailbox migration project exists.
- Click the mailbox migration project from the list of previously configured projects.
- Add a checkmark next to the mailboxes for which you want to perform the verification.
- Click Start in the project menu bar, and then click Verify Credentials.
- Click OK at the prompt to start the verification.
When you perform the verification of credentials, MigrationWiz checks the mailbox credentials at both the Source and the Destination email systems. Verifying credentials does not migrate data or consume licenses; it simply allows you to identify mailbox access errors up front, to avoid delays in the migration later.
Once the verification is complete, the results are listed in the Status column for each mailbox item in the project.
Complete these steps to start a Pre-Stage migration:
- Sign in to MigrationWiz at this web address:
https://migrationwiz.bittitan.com - Click the Workgroup in which the mailbox migration project exists.
- Click the mailbox migration project from the list of your previously configured projects.
- Add a checkmark next to the mailboxes for which you want to perform the Pre-Stage migration.
- Click Start in the project menu bar, and then click Pre-Stage migration.
- Click the drop-down menu under the migration scheduling section, and select the cutoff date for emails that will be migrated during the Pre-Stage migration. For example, if you select 30 days ago, then only email older than 30 days will be migrated in the Pre-Stage migration pass.
- Click Start Migration. Once the Pre-Stage migration is complete, the results are listed in the Status column for each mailbox items in the project.
- Perform the MX record cutover after the Pre-Stage migration pass has completed, and before starting the Delta migration pass. For steps on how to perform the MX record cutover, we recommend that you look for the instructions from your DNS hosting provider, and then read the Add a domain to Office 365 article from Microsoft for instructions on how to add a domain to Office 365.
Complete these steps to start the Delta Migration Pass after the MX record cutover is completed:
- Sign in to MigrationWiz at this web address: https://migrationwiz.bittitan.com
- Click the Workgroup in which the mailbox migration project exists.
- Click the mailbox migration project from the list of previously configured projects.
- Add a checkmark next to the mailboxes for which you want to perform the Pre-Stage migration.
- Click Start in the project menu bar, and then click Full Migration.
- Ensure that all items are selected in the Select what to migrate section, and then click Start Migration.
When you perform a Full Migration, you migrate everything not previously migrated in the Pre-Stage pass.
Complete these steps to view statistics for a mailbox migration project:
- Sign in to MigrationWiz at this web address: https://migrationwiz.bittitan.com
- Click the Workgroup in which the mailbox migration project exists.
- Click the pie chart icon next to the migration project for which you want to view statistics.
- Click OK at the prompt to receive an email with the statistics.
A statistics file will be emailed to the address you used to sign in to MigrationWiz. It includes statistics like the number of emails migrated, failed items for each mailbox, and so on.
