This example retrieves the settings for the migration endpoint, OnboardingME01.

Copy Code
Get-MigrationEndpoint -Identity OnboardingME01

Detailed Description

The Get-MigrationEndpoint cmdlet retrieves settings for different types of migration:

  • 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.
