Exchange
Server has diverse roles such as Client access, mailbox management,
hub transport, unified messaging etc. Many a times, system admin
needs to shift few files from one Exchange to another and in other
times, everything must be migrated. Suppose, your company is shifting
all employees from one Exchange server to another or there are more
than one Exchange Server deployed on your organization, you might
like to shift few data in that case.
While upgrading or shifting from one Exchange Server, there could be an instance when you might get lost in entire process. Moreover, one cannot directly upgrade existing Exchange Server 2003 to 2013. You must first shift from 2003 to 2007 or 2010 and then upgrade from 2007 or 2010 to 2013 respectively.
When
trying to perform the aforementioned conversion, one can use inbuilt
tools. These tools require exquisite technical steps and efforts that
cannot be efficiently implemented by not-so technical executive.
Hence, Lepide Exchange Recovery Manager (LERM) is preferred with
anyone dealing with exchange migration issues. Here are few steps
that would help you in the process. For the starters, purchase
complete licensed edition and install it on your system to begin the
Exchange Process after trying the trial edition.
On
starting the tool, Dashboard prompts you to choose Source.
Select
the option ‘Live Exchange’ and manually provide details to
connect to the server. You can also choose ‘Live Exchange using
existing MS Outlook profile’ if MS Outlook is already installed on
your system and is connected with Exchange Server.
Provide Exchange Server and mailbox name. Select the type of mailbox with which you are looking to connect. You can choose to opt for single or multiple mailbox migration accordingly. You can connect all the mailboxes at once and transfer accordingly and click ‘Next’.
During this process to establish the connection, the software will ask for the Administrators’ username and password. Enter the Domain name and the username for the destination when it asks and Click OK. LERM connects to the Exchange Server and starts the process.
One
can create single or multiple mailboxes when performing the migration
on the destination. Here is how to do that:
Right
click on the exchange server name in the destination list and select
“Create Mailbox”
Enter
domain, user name password and select the Exchange Server version
In
order to create a new user, enter the name when it asks for after
clicking on New user
When
you click on existing user lists, it displays all users added.
Click on Next and Finish the process of creating new user and a mailbox.
The
following dialog box appears when the software has finished creating
the user and mailbox.
Click
on Finish and drag-drop anything you wish to migrate.
In
order to migrate Exchange mailboxes just Drag and Drop mailbox from
Source list to Destination list. Just as we performed Exchange 2003
migration to 2007/2010, you could perform further 2007/2010 migration
into 2013. Hence, it is a two-step process. Blame it on the latest
version’s trouble.
Along
with easy migration technique, the software effortlessly helps user
to recover Exchange server completely, search emails across multiple
sources and restore these items to Live Exchange mailboxes, restore
OST files and forms reports for these. It is the simplest method to
maintain recovery, perform migration and deal with brick level
backups.
