Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example creates an endpoint for remote moves using Autodiscover to detect the settings.

Copy Code
New-MigrationEndpoint -Name Endpoint1 -ExchangeRemoteMove -Autodiscover -EmailAddress tonysmith@contoso.com -Credentials (Get-Credential contoso\tonysmith)

EXAMPLE 2

This example creates an endpoint for remote moves by specifying the settings manually.

Copy Code
New-MigrationEndpoint -Name Endpoint2 -ExchangeRemoteMove -RemoteServer MRSServer.contoso.com -Credentials (Get-Credential Contoso.com\Administrator)

Detailed Description

The New-MigrationEndpoint cmdlet configures settings for different types of migrations:

  • Cross-forest move   Move mailboxes between two different on-premises Exchange forests. Cross-forest moves require the use of a RemoteMove endpoint.

  • Remote move   In a hybrid deployment, a remote move involves onboarding or offboarding migrations. Remote moves require the use of a RemoteMove endpoint. Onboarding moves mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online in Office 365, and uses a RemoteMove endpoint as the source endpoint of the migration batch. Offboarding moves mailboxes from Exchange Online in Office 365 to an on-premises Exchange organization and uses a RemoteMove endpoint as the target endpoint of the migration batch.

  • Cutover Exchange migration   Migrate all mailboxes in an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online in Office 365. Cutover Exchange migration requires the use of an Exchange endpoint.

  • Staged Exchange migration   Migrate a subset of mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online in Office 365. Staged Exchange migration requires the use of an Exchange endpoint.

  • IMAP migration   Migrate mailbox data from an on-premises Exchange organization or other email system to Exchange Online in Office 365. For an IMAP migration, you must first create the cloud-based mailboxes before you migrate mailbox data. IMAP migrations require the use of an IMAP endpoint.

  • Local   Move mailboxes between different servers or databases within a single on-premises Exchange forest. Local moves don't require the use of an endpoint.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox Move and Migration Permissions" section in the Recipients Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Autodiscover

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

For an Exchange migration, the Autodiscover parameter specifies whether to get other connection settings for the on-premises server from the Autodiscover service.

EmailAddress

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpAddress

The EmailAddress parameter specifies the Autodiscover email address.

ExchangeOutlookAnywhere

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The ExchangeOutlookAnywhere parameter specifies the type of endpoint for staged and cutover migrations.

ExchangeRemoteMove

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The ExchangeRemoteMove parameter specifies the type of endpoint for cross-forest and hybrid moves.

IMAP

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IMAP parameter specifies the type of endpoint for IMAP migrations.

Name

Required

System.String

The Name parameter specifies the name you give to the new migration endpoint. You can use the Name parameter when you run the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet.

RemoteServer

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The RemoteServer parameter specifies the remote server, which depends on the protocol type for moves:

  • For Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2010 moves, this parameter refers to the Client Access server.

  • For IMAP moves, this parameter refers to the IMAP server.

Authentication

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.AuthenticationMethod

The Authentication parameter specifies the authentication method used by the on-premises mail server. If you don't include this parameter, Basic authentication is used.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

Credentials

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

For all Exchange migration types, the Credentials parameter specifies the credentials to connect to the source or target endpoint.

This parameter requires the creation and passing of a credential object. This credential object is created by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, see Get-Credential.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

In the cloud-based service, this parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

ExchangeServer

Optional

System.String

The ExchangeServer parameter specifies the on-premises source Exchange server for cutover and staged migrations.

MailboxPermission

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.MigrationMailboxPermission

The MailboxPermission parameter specifies what permissions to use to access the source mailbox during Outlook Anywhere onboarding (staged Exchange migration and cutover Exchange migration). This parameter can’t be used for non-Outlook Anywhere migrations.

The account specified must have one of the following permissions:

  • Admin: The account is a domain administrator who can access any mailbox they want to migrate.

  • FullAccess: The account has Full Access permission to the mailboxes they want to migrate.

MaxConcurrentIncrementalSyncs

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MaxConcurrentIncrementalSyncs parameter specifies the maximum number of incremental syncs allowed per endpoint.

MaxConcurrentMigrations

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MaxConcurrentMigrations parameter specifies the maximum number of mailboxes that are migrated during initial sync. This parameter is applicable for all migration types.

NspiServer

Optional

System.String

The NspiServer parameter specifies the remote Name Service Provider Interface (NSPI) server location for cutover and staged migrations. You must provide the FQDN of the server.

Organization

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

Port

Optional

System.Int32

For an IMAP migration, the Port parameter specifies the TCP port number used by the migration process to connect to the remote server. This parameter is required only when you want to migrate data from an on-premises IMAP server to cloud-based mailboxes.

RpcProxyServer

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

For a staged Exchange migration, the RpcProxyServer parameter specifies the FQDN of the RPC proxy server for the on-premises Exchange server. This parameter is required only when you don't use the Autodiscover parameter.

Security

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.IMAPSecurityMechanism

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

SkipVerification

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SkipVerification switch specifies whether to skip verifying that the remote server is reachable when creating a migration endpoint. The default value is $false.

SourceMailboxLegacyDN

Optional

System.String

The SourceMailboxLegacyDN parameter specifies a mailbox on the target server. Use the LegacyExchangeDN for the on-premises test mailbox as the value for this parameter. The cmdlet tries to access this mailbox using the credentials for the administrator account on the target server.

TestMailbox

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter

The TestMailbox parameter specifies a mailbox on the target server. Use the primary SMTP address as the value for this parameter. The cmdlet tries to access this mailbox using the credentials for the administrator account on the target server.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
