Exchange Cutover Migration Mailbox limit

Greetings,
In the Microsoft documentation says:
You can migrate a maximum of 2,000 mailboxes from your on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online using a cutover migration. This migration method only moves mailboxes,
mail users, mail contacts, and mail-enabled groups. 
But in the EAC migration console when I select cutover migration it says the limit is 1000 mailboxes
I need to validate if the limit is 2000 mailboxes or 1000, and also if I can migrate more than 1000 mailboxers without issues even when EAC says the maximum is 1000.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi AC,
As the documents said, the limit now is 2,000 mailboxes.
I notice following information in the article
http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/solutions/4294.aspx :
In Remote move migrations, you have to implement a hybrid deployment to migrate more than 1,000 Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 mailboxes to Exchange Online. 
Please verify whether you are in the Remote move migrations.
Also suggest asking Office 365 forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • Majority of mailboxes fail to migrate to Exchange Online, Cutover Migration from Exchange 2010

    Hi, hoping someone with Office 365 migration skills might be able to help with this one:
    I have about 90 mailboxes in a Cutover migration batch process which only 4 mailbox succeed.
    The rest fail with error:
    MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server. ‎(hr=0x80040111, ec=1010)‎
    I've done a bunch of searches on this error and it looks to be a permissions issue. But comparing the successful mailboxes to the rest, I can't see where the issue lies.
    The endpoint uses the domain\Administrator account which has Full Access to all the mailboxes and I have run the powershell command to grant Receive As to the mailbox database.
    Any ideas?
    The full error is:
    Error: MigrationPermanentException:
    Error: MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server. ‎(hr=0x80040111, ec=1010)‎ Diagnostic context: Lid: 49064 dwParam: 0x3 Lid: 49191 EMSMDBMT.EcDoConnectEx called [length=153] Lid: 65063 EMSMDBMT.EcDoConnectEx exception [rpc_status=0x6B5][latency=1562]

    Update: 
    I managed to fix this by creating a new admin account in Active Directory, assigning it the Receive As permission to the datastore 
    "Add-ADPermission -Identity "Mailbox Database 0383061665" -User "iif.admin" -ExtendedRights Receive-As"
    Then restarted the Mailbox Assistant service (which could have also fixed it I guess, not sure).
    Edited the endpoint in O365 to use the new account then reran batch process.
    All accounts now appear to be syncing properly.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Cutover onprem mailbox to exchange online without Hybrid configuration wizard.

    HI!
    We have on premise exchange server 2010 sp2 deployed with domain1.com. We have registered our tenant and verified the ownership of domain1.com on our office365 tenant.  We have successfully deployed EOP and configured inbound and outbound connectors
    and all the mailflow is working fine. We havenot deployed directory sync server and ADFS for the deployment of EOP. Our Mx is pointed to domain1-com.mail.protection.outlook.com and all the mails are sent and received through EOP. I
    want to move a user mailbox such as [email protected] to Exchange Online from on-premise exchange without configuring Dirsync and Exchange Hybrid configuration wizard. I already know the some of the limitations.
    If I create a user account [email protected] on the tenant and activate the Exchange License on office365 to create the Mailbox on Exchange online.
    I want to know that if I have to create any other send and receive connector or any other configuration either on office365 or exchange online if I cutover one user from our on-premise to exchange online without configuring Exchange Hybrid configuration
    wizard on our on premise exchange server??
    Will this effect the mailflow between onpremise and exchange online users?
    Regards,
    Abdullah Salam

    It's not clear to me what type of migration you're trying to do. A cutover migration would be an option as long as you understand the limitations of that process.  Otherwise are you looking to use a third-party migration tool or some other
    mechanism?
    The reason you would end up with two mailboxes is if when you assign an Exchange license to a user in the cloud without DirSync, a mailbox is provisioned for that user.  You can assign a license after the mailbox is moved assuming you have a mail-enabled
    user in the cloud and can do a remote move to it.
    Once you manage to get the mailbox to the cloud, now you have to deal with routing which means you'll need a mail-enabled user on-premises for every mailbox in the cloud and will need to have a target address with a coexistence domain such as "@tenant.mail.onmicrosoft.com". 
    Likewise, Exchange Online will need a mail-enabled user for every on-premises mailbox in order to have a populated GAL and route in that direction.
    For security reasons we don't to setup Dirsync and hybrid.
    I hear this occasionally and remind organizations that you're putting the actual data (the stuff the credentials protect) in Microsoft's datacenters.  If it's a question of trust, cloud services might not be the most appropriate solution for the
    organization.  The Office 365 Trust Center (http://trust.office365.com/) can provide some insight into the controls that Microsoft has in place to protect your data.
    DirSync or the new AADSync can be scoped such that they only sync limited objects.  From there, you have the options of Password (Hash) Sync with DirSync (not yet with AADSync) or using AD FS which leaves the authentication with your on-premises
    directory.

  • Best way to migrate Mailboxes with all permissions Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010--cross forest

    Hi,
    Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
    I would really appreciate if someone can direct us to the best way to migrate mailboxes and PFs with their permissions, to new Ex 2010 SP3 server. We have around 30 mailboxes, and 300 GB of mailboxes data, and 200 GB of PFdata.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards, David Johnson

    Hello,
    Firstly, you need to creat forest trust between two forests.
    If you want to move AD user account and mailboxes, please use ADMT and PrepareMoveRequest script.
    If you want to migrate public folder, please export data to PST file and then import pst file to new server.

  • Cutover Migration to Exchange 2013 On-premises

    I have two clients who will be merging their on-prem Exchange 
    organizations. Different forests.  I've done many cutover migrations to
    Office 365 for other clients so I'm familiar with the process.  My 
    question is:  Is it possible to do an O365-style cutover migration (create migration endpoint, cutover batch, etc.) from
    an on-prem Exchange 2010 server to an on-prem Exchange 2013 server using
    the same steps?
    Thanks in advance for any input. 
    Steve

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, the Cutover Migration is used for migration to Exchange online. There is no related document about
    Cutover Migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
    To perform Exchange 2010 corss-forest migration to Exchange 2013, you need to use Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) migrate user accounts.
    Here is a related blog which may help you. (Even though this article is for Exchange 2010 corss-forest migration, it's also applies to cross-forest migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.)

  • Migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010

    Hello,
    We have a merger and would like to know if it is possible to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010 in a cross-forest scenario.
    Or should we first upgrade destination Exchange 2010 to 2013?
    Peteris

    Hi Peteris,
    Based on my tests, we can move mailboxes from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange server 2010. You can use the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 script in the EMS to prepare mailboxes for cross forest moves.
    For more information about it, here is a helpful article for your reference.

  • Journaling mailbox - Exchange 2013 Migrations from 2010

    hi guys
    i am about to start mailbox movement from Exchange 2010 to 2013. my setup is working fine. i have enabled journaling from Exchange 2010 and as ii found, automatically journaling rules will be reflected to exchange 2013. i had very big journaling mailbox
    and then newly created New Exchange 2010 journaling mailbox. now new journaling mailbox is configured for journaling and that also still on 2010(both Old and new journaling mailbox ), new mailx is couple of weeks old (6-8 GB) and old one is 2.6 TB. So i will
    move old one at the end .
    my questions is if i move new journaling mailbox to 2013 before start normal Mailboxes, it will cause some issues for journaling. i use premium journaling . is it okay to move journaling mailbox at the begin ?? 
    thank you
    Indunil

    Hi,
    Based on my test, journal rules will be synchronized in Exchange 2013 after you create in Exchange 2010. If you create in Exchange 2013, then the rule will be synchronized in Exchange 2010.
    And I did create a rule to send message to a Exchange 2013 jounal mailbox for Exchange 2010 users. It worked.
    So you can migrate journal mailbox to Exchange 2013 firstly based on this test.

  • Migrating mailboxes to another forest Exchange organisation

    Hello,
    We are looking to achieve 2 migration tasks: one is to upgrade one Exchange organisation from 2010 to 2013 and the second is to migrate mailboxes from the second organisation to the new 2013 server. 
    To explain the scenario in a bit more detail:
    Forest A – 1  AD domain with a single Exchange 2010 server
    Forest B – 1 AD domain with a single Exchange 2010 sever
    Stage 1 – Migrate Forest A to Exchange 2013
    Stage 2 – Migrate mailboxes from forest B to forest A but still keep forest B as its own AD domain. Or to put it another way; we want the users in forest B to have their mailboxes migrated to forest A (linked mailboxes?) but still keep use forest B to login
    etc, essentially making forest A a resource forest for users in forest B
    I hope that makes sense! One of my main concerns is I am assuming it is possible to perform a cross forest migration from forest B which will be at 2010 to forest A which will be 2013. Would it be better to perform the cross forest migrations before hand?
    If someone is able to let me know if what I am proposing is possible I would be extremely grateful. 

    Hi
    There is no problem with any of those ideas.  You can migrate cross-forest between to either 2010 or 2013 irrespective of the source Exchange version, using the native tools.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633491(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If you want to have them as linked mailboxes you just specify the -linkedmailuser switch when you run the preparemoverequest.ps1 script, you then perform the remote move as described in the link above.

  • Microsoft Exchange server and Mailbox box prompt after migration

    We are getting prompted to click OK when we open Outlook on the Microsoft Exchange server and Mailbox dialog box.
    We just migrated from 2007 exchange to 2013 exchange and the people with windows 7 seem to be able to access exchange through outlook 2010 without getting prompted.  Also people who are getting prompted are not able to access public folders and our
    XP.  Those using windows 7 can access public folders.

    Hi,
    From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    Windows XP does not like msstd:*.domain and must use msstd:server.domain instead.
    So I recommend you set this by updating the CertificateName via EMS.
    1. If you use a wildcard certificate, please run the following cmdlet:
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR –CertPrincipalName msstd:*.contoso.com
    2. If not please run the Set-OutlookProvider EXPR –CertPrincipalName msstd:$null cmdlet. Once done, repair Outlook profiles and check results.
    Besides, when there is a Windows XP user, we recommend SAN certificate not wildcard certificate.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.
    If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.

  • Outlook 2013/ Exchange 2010 User Mailbox reached Limit and OWA is not reachable

    Hello Folks,I have a strange Outlook/ Exchange problem with one of our Users, interestingly it’s the Boss of our company….The Background:- We have 2 Domains @company-1 or @company-2- We have 1 Exchange 2010 Server Version 14.03.0224.002- Till March of this year our Emails where hosted externally, we used to download the Emails every 2 minutes from POP3 Mailboxes into Exchange- We have 18 Users- So every User had a User account on our Exchange and a Mailbox externally- Now we host our Emails our self via MX and DNS Records(mail.company.cc)- The User kept their Exchange accounts, OWA is now working too So far all works well on my little Server farm.The Catch:Usually our users have only one Email address either @company-1 or @company-2 Except our Boss and one other User, they have an Email address in both Domains They have addresses one...
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi,
    I suggest to repair .ost file to check this issue by the following steps:
    Exit Outlook.
    In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
    In the Mail Setup dialog box, click E-mail Accounts.
    Click the Data Files tab, select the Exchange account, and then click
    Open File Location. A file explorer window opens to the location of the data file for the Exchange account. The
    Account Settings and Mail Setup dialog boxes will remain open, behind the file explorer window.
    Close the Account Settings and the Mail Setup dialog boxes, then return to the file explorer window.
    Important: be sure to close these two dialog boxes before you delete the file. If they aren't closed, Windows may display an error message about a conflict.
    In the file explorer window, right-click the Exchange data file and then click
    Delete. The next time you start Outlook, a new .ost file is created for the account.

  • Dirsync after Cutover Migration

    Hi All,
    I am trying to setup dirsync following a cutover migration.
    There is lots of unclear and out of date information about in the forums regarding this.
    So far we have done the cutover migration - sucked the email into 365 and repointed all the clients to 365.
    I successfully uninstalled Exchange 2010 onsite.
    Everything is working OK.
    We now want to use dirsync to sync the 365 passwords with the local AD.
    I have installed the latest version of the ad sync tool and configured it.
    I have locked down the sync to 1 OU to test to make sure I dont break any of the other users if there is a problem.
    I have a test user in the OU which I am attempting to sync (this user was created / migrated using the cutover migration process).
    I  get the following error "Unable to update this object because the following attributes associated with this object have values that may already be associated with another object in your local directory services: [ProxyAddresses <with the
    email address of the object I am trying to sync>" 
    There was discussion of a process for doing this with Exchange 2007 that required a script to update the AD users prior to syncing - is this still required with Exchange 2010 ?
    If there is a document that covers something I have to do prior to this process or should it just work ?
    Thanks.
    M.

    OK for everyone else I found the issue I was facing. I had previously deployed dirsync prior to the cutover migration (we were going to do things a different way). We then had to disable dirsync and delete all the users prior to changing to a cutover migration
    - this left duplicates in the deleted users in 365.
    I had to follow this http://365command.com/justins-tech-tip-of-the-week-purging-and-removing-deleted-users-and-mailboxes-from-office-365/ to permanently delete the users in the 'recycle bin'.
    This then resolved my issue with dirsync.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Cutover Migration from EX2010 to O365

    Starting this weekend, we are going to be performing a cutover migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365. To give an idea of the size of the current email system, we have around 90-100 users and a total of 400GB of data and approx. 2,000,000 items. Average
    mailbox has 19,000 items at 4GB. The cutover migration will be done using an Outlook Anywhere endpoint. The internet connection from where the migration will take place is 20mbps download and 4mbps upload.
    We were never expecting the migration to be quick, given the amount of data, but after some simulations and calculations we have found that, best case scenario, the initial synchronization phase will take 7 days. 
    Our major concern is use of upload bandwidth during the initial sync and how it will bog everything down from a user's perspective, not just regarding browsing performance but mainly because on the same internet connection as the Exchange they have a site to
    site VPN with another branch. We were therefore thinking of using the migration batch's start and stop functions to control the migration to happen only during out-of-office hours. Naturally the migration will take much longer to complete overall but the top
    management prefer this than having 7 days of nearly unusable network performance.
    This raises three questions:
    Is the start/stop approach to the initial synchronization phase a good idea?
    This is a problem I'm sure most companies face when migrating to Office 365. What approach do companies normally take to reduce the effects on the production environment?
    What would be the best approach in such a situation, more simultaneous mailbox transfers (e.g. 10 mailboxes) to speed up the sync but bogging down the network, or less simultaneous mailbox transfers (e.g. 1 or 2) which might slow down overall migration but
    hopefully free up some upload bandwidth?

    As per your description, I would suggest you to start from here :
    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-you-need-to-know-about-a-cutover-email-migration-to-Office-365-961978ef-f434-472d-a811-1801733869da
    This covers almost all the required aspects while need to do cutover migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365.
    You should note that a maximum of 2,000 mailboxes can be migrated to Office 365 by using a cutover Exchange migration.
    You may give a short span of time to this another informative reference :
    https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Perform-a-cutover-migration-of-email-to-Office-365-9496e93c-1e59-41a8-9bb3-6e8df0cd81b4
    Also, Exchange server deployment assistant is your friend that is available from Microsoft team and provides step-wise assistance when performing cutover migration.
    As an alternative, if you wish to accomplish this task automatically, you may also consider on this automated solution (http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/)that could be a good approach for you to get
    this job done without any downtime(that's the main concern of most of administrators).

  • Cutover Migration Issue

    Hi ,
    I have an issue with Cutover migration to office365.
    Exchange environment:
    3 Exchange 2003 Servers
    3 Exchange 2010 Servers.
    AD domain : abc.com
    Exchnage organization: abc.com
    We have acquired two other companies, so we have added additional email addresses to mailboxes created in our Exchange with below domain names.
    Test1.com and Test2.com ( I am not publishing the domain names here).
    We connect to our mailbox using abc.com credentials, however primary SMTP address of the user alters between test1.com and test2.com.
    Now:
    i have added necessary permissions on mailbox databases for migration user.
    Tested the RPC Over HTTP and it is working fine.
    Started the the migration batch and it provisioned all the user mailboxes, distribution groups , contacts etc.
    But the problem is it is not moving any data from onpremise to cloud.
    Failing with error :
    AutoDiscoverFailedConfigurationErrorException: AutoDiscover failed with a configuration error: The migration service failed to detect the migration endpoint using the Autodiscover service. Please enter the migration endpoint settings
    or go back to the first step and retry using the Autodiscover service. Consider using the Exchange Remote Connectivity Analyzer

  • Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 Migration and Architect a resilient and high availability exchange setup

    Hi,
    I currently have a single Exchange 2010 Server that has all the roles supporting about 500 users. I plan to upgrade to 2013 and move to a four server HA Exchange setup (a CAS array with 2 Server as CAS servers  and one DAG with 2 mailbox Servers). My
    goal is to plan out the transition in steps with no downtime. Email is most critical with my company.
    Exchange 2010 is running SP3 on a Windows Server 2010 and a Separate Server as archive. In the new setup, rather than having a separate server for archiving, I am just going to put that on a separate partition.
    Here is what I have planned so far.
    1. Build out four Servers. 2 CAS and 2 Mailbox Servers. Mailbox Servers have 4 partitions each. One for OS. Second for DB. Third for Logs and Fourth for Archives.
    2. Prepare AD for exchange 2013.
    3. Install Exchange roles. CAS on two servers and mailbox on 2 servers. Add a DAG. Someone had suggested to me to use an odd number so 3 or 5. Is that a requirement?
    4. I am using a third party load balancer for CAS array instead of NLB so I will be setting up that.
    5. Do post install to ready up the new CAS. While doing this, can i use the same parameters as assigned on exchange 2010 like can i use the webmail URL for outlook anywhere, OAB etc.
    6. Once this is done. I plan to move a few mailboxes as test to the new mailbox servers or DAG.
    7. Testing outlook setups on new servers. inbound and outbound email tests.
    once this is done, I can migrate over and point all my MX records to the new servers.
    Please let me know your thoughts and what am I missing. I like to solidify a flowchart of all steps that I need to do before I start the migration. 
    thank you for your help in advance

    Hi,
    okay, you can use 4 virtual servers. But there is no need to deploy dedicated server roles (CAS + MBX). It is better to deploy multi-role Exchange servers, also virtual! You could install 2 multi-role servers and if the company growths, install another multi-role,
    and so on. It's much more simpler, better and less expensive.
    CAS-Array is only an Active Directory object, nothing more. The load balancer controls the sessions on which CAS the user will terminate. You can read more at
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/05/load-balancing-in-exchange-2013.aspx Also there is no session affinity required.
    First, build the complete Exchange 2013 architecture. High availability for your data is a DAG and for your CAS you use a load balancer.
