[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-MigrationEndpoint cmdlet configures the connection 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 Remote Move endpoint.
- Remote move migration: In a hybrid deployment, a remote move migration involves onboarding or offboarding migrations. Remote move migrations also require the use of an Exchange remote move endpoint. Onboarding moves mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online, and uses a remote move endpoint as the source endpoint of the migration batch. Offboarding moves mailboxes from Exchange Online to an on-premises Exchange organization and uses a remote move endpoint as the target endpoint of the migration batch.
- Cutover Exchange migration: Migrate all mailboxes in an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online. A cutover Exchange migration requires the use of an Outlook Anywhere migration endpoint.
- Staged Exchange migration: Migrate a subset of mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online. A staged Exchange migration requires the use of an Outlook Anywhere migration endpoint.
- IMAP migration: Migrate mailbox data from an on-premises Exchange organization or other email system to Exchange Online. 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.
- Google Workspace migration: Migration mailbox data from a Google Workspace tenant to Exchange Online. For a Google Workspace migration, you must first create cloud-based mail users or mailboxes before you migrate mailbox data. Google Workspace migrations require the use of a Gmail endpoint.
Moving mailboxes between different servers or databases within a single on-premises Exchange forest (called a local move) doesn't require a migration endpoint.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
New-MigrationEndpoint -Name Endpoint1 -ExchangeRemoteMove -Autodiscover -EmailAddress [email protected] -Credentials (Get-Credential contoso\tonysmith)This example creates an endpoint for remote moves by using the Autodiscover parameter to detect the settings.
Example 2
New-MigrationEndpoint -Name Endpoint2 -ExchangeRemoteMove -RemoteServer MRSServer.contoso.com -Credentials (Get-Credential Contoso.com\Administrator)This example creates an endpoint for remote moves by specifying the settings manually.
Example 3
$Credentials = Get-Credential
New-MigrationEndpoint -ExchangeOutlookAnywhere -Name EXCH-AutoDiscover -Autodiscover -EmailAddress [email protected] -Credentials $CredentialsThis example creates an Outlook Anywhere migration endpoint by using the Autodiscover parameter to detect the connection settings to the on-premises organization. Outlook Anywhere endpoints are used for cutover and staged Exchange migrations. The Get-Credential cmdlet is used to obtain the credentials for an on-premises account that has the necessary administrative privileges in the domain and that can access the mailboxes that will be migrated. When prompted for the user name, you can use either the email address or the domain\username format for the administrator account. This account can be the same one that is specified by the EmailAddress parameter.
Example 4
New-MigrationEndpoint -ExchangeOutlookAnywhere -Name EXCH_Manual -ExchangeServer EXCH-01-MBX.contoso.com -RPCProxyServer EXCH-02-CAS.contoso.com -Credentials (Get-Credential [email protected]) -EmailAddress [email protected]This example creates an Outlook Anywhere migration endpoint by specifying the connection settings manually. Outlook Anywhere endpoints are used for cutover and staged Exchange migrations. The value for the ExchangeServer parameter specifies the on-premises Exchange server that hosts the mailboxes that will be migrated. The value for the RPCProxyServer parameter specifies the Exchange server in the on-premises organization that has the Client Access server role installed that directly accepts and proxies client connections. The EmailAddress parameter can specify any mailbox in the on-premises domain.
It's recommended that you use a migration endpoint created with connection settings that are automatically discovered (see Example 3) because the Autodiscover service will be used to connect to each user mailbox in the migration batch. If you manually specify the connection settings for the endpoint and a user mailbox isn't located on the server specified by the ExchangeServer parameter, the migration for that user will fail. This is important if you have multiple on-premises Outlook Anywhere servers. Otherwise, you may need to create different migration endpoints that correspond to each on-premises server.
Example 5
New-MigrationEndpoint -IMAP -Name IMAPEndpoint -RemoteServer imap.contoso.com -Port 993 -Security SslThis example creates an IMAP migration endpoint. The value for the RemoteServer parameter specifies the FQDN of the IMAP server that hosts the mailboxes that will be migrated. The endpoint is configured to use port 993 for SSL encryption.
Example 6
New-MigrationEndpoint -IMAP -Name IMAP_TLS_Endpoint -RemoteServer imap.contoso.com -Port 143 -Security Tls -MaxConcurrentMigrations 50 -MaxConcurrentIncrementalSyncs 10This example creates an IMAP migration endpoint that supports 50 concurrent migrations and 10 concurrent incremental synchronizations. The endpoint is configured to use port 143 for TLS encryption.
