Lotus Domino Administrator 7 Help - Registering users and completing the migration from Exchange

MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Registering users and completing the migration from Exchange
After you successfully import users into the registration queue, you are ready to register them and complete the migration. Depending on the options you select, the registration process:

Creates a Notes Person document and Notes ID for each migrated user
Creates a Notes mail file
Migrates messages and Calendar entries from the Microsoft Exchange PST file

You can specify additional Notes registration information for users, including mail server name, group membership, organizational unit, and so forth.

For more information about the available registration settings, see the topic Using Advanced registration.

Note After the registration process has started, you cannot use the Domino Administrator client for any other task until the process completes. If necessary, you can stop the registration process by pressing CTRL + Break.

1. From the Basics view of the Register Person dialog box, view the registration information for each name that appears in the Registration status box to ensure that it is correct. Note: the Extended Mail Template (Mail7ex.ntf) must be used for all mail files migrated from Exchange to Domino.

2. (Optional) Click the Options button, and select the registration options to apply during this session and click OK.

3. (Optional) Specify additional registration information for users as necessary. If you created a 'migration' group, open the Groups pane and assign users to this group now.

4. From the Registration status box, select users to register and click Register. The Domino Administrator attempts to register the selected users in the order in which they were added to the queue, and migrates data from their mailboxes to Notes. Users whom you do not select remain in the queue for later registration.

The registration process may require a considerable amount of time, depending on the number of users and number and size of the mailboxes being upgraded.

After the registration completes, a message informs you of the registration status. Failed registrations continue to be listed in the Registration status box with a status message indicating the reason for the failure. Correct registration settings as needed and attempt to register the user again.

5. Verify that the migration was successful.

6. After migrating all users, use the Mail Convert tool to convert all addresses from Exchange to Notes canonical format:

Perform the following task on the Domino Server Console to make sure the cache is updated and current:

tell router q

load updall <Domino Directory> (for example, 'load updall names.nsf')

load router

At the Domino Server Console, type the following to perform the address conversion on all migrated mail files on the Domino server (in the \mail subdirectory):

load convert -w mail\*nsf

Note

This tool converts only the addresses of Microsoft Exchange users who exist in the Domino Directory. If you migrate small groups, run the tool each time a group is migrated.

7. After the migration is complete, users can run an upgrade wizard to convert local mail archives and Outlook mail file data that the Domino migration tool did not process.

For information about how to install and run the upgrade wizard for Outlook mail file data on the Notes client, see the topic Migrating personal mail data.
