Stellar Migrator for Exchange / 4. How to / 4.1. Create a New Migration Job / 4.1.1. Configure General Settings
4.1.1. Configure General Settings
Configuring General Settings is the first step to create a migration job. In this step, you need to provide a name for your migration job and choose the source and target server types. The source server is where you are migrating data from, and the target server is where the data will go.
Steps to configure General settings
-
Run Stellar Migrator for Exchange.
-
Create migration job window appears, with the General tab selected by default. Alternatively, you can open the Create migration job window anytime by clicking the New button in the JOB ribbon.
-
Enter a unique name for your migration job in the 'Job name' field.
Note: A job name cannot include the following special characters: , ' & " ;
-
Choose the source server type by selecting one of the following radio buttons.
-
Exchange Server: If you are migrating the data from an on-premises Exchange server.
-
Office 365: If you are migrating the data from an Office 365 environment.
-
Choose the target server type by selecting one of the following radio buttons.
-
Exchange Server: If you are migrating the data to an on-premises Exchange server.
-
Office 365: If you are migrating the data to the Office 365 environment.
Note: Stellar Migrator for Exchange supports the following migration scenarios:
- Exchange Server to Exchange Server
- Exchange Server to Office 365
- Office 365 to Exchange Server
- Office 365 to Office 365
Ensure that you choose the correct combination of source and target server types for your migration needs.
-
If you have a CSV file containing a list of already mapped source and target mailboxes, select the "Migrate using CSV containing the list of already mapped source and target mailboxes" checkbox. When you select this checkbox, the Source mailboxes, Target mailboxes and Match mailboxes steps in the wizard will be skipped, and then import CSV file. For more information on how to use a CSV file with already mapped source and target mailboxes, click here.
- If you are not using a CSV to migrate mailboxes, proceed to the Mailbox Type step instead.
Note: To get more information on how to configure General settings, click the Help button located at the bottom-left corner of the General window.
