Migrate Users from OnPrem Mailbox to O365

Question

Is there a script we can use to take an OnPrem exchange mailbox and move it to Office365?

Adaxes version
2017.2
3.8.14823.0

Also is this something that is already part of 2018.1?

Answer 1

Hello,

Yes, sure. For details, have a look at section Move mailbox to Office 365 of the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Per ... mO365.html.

The same approach can be used in Adaxes 2018.1 and later.

That would work but we have 6 different OnPrem exchange servers that have different "mail.company,com" addresses. Is there a way to query which OnPrem server or database they are on 1st and then run the correct mailbox move command based on the result?

Hello,

There is no need to query the addresses of your Exchange servers in the script. In the $remoteServer variable, you need to specify the complete domain name of an externally accessible on-premises Exchange server that has the Client Access role configured and the Mailbox Replication Service Proxy (MRSProxy) service running. For more details about the service, have a look at the following article by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchan ... -2013-help.

We have 6 different such addresses depending on which server a user's mailbox is housed on

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying.

We have updated the script to meet your needs, find it below. You will not need to specify the name of the local Exchange server, it will be obtained by the script automatically.

# Get exchange server name
$homeDB = $Context.BindToObjectByDN("%homeMDB%")
$msExchOwningServerDN = $homeDB.Get("msExchOwningServer")
$msExchOwningServer = $Context.BindToObjectByDN($msExchOwningServerDN)
$remoteServer = $msExchOwningServer.DirectoryServer

$targetDeliveryDomain = "mycompany.mail.onmicrosoft.com"
$badItemLimit = "0"
$largeItemLimit = "0"
$Context.TargetObject.CreateMoveMailboxToO365Request($remoteServer, $targetDeliveryDomain, $badItemLimit, $largeItemLimit)
