For Exchange 2010 or higher, Minimal Hybrid method has best fidelity with least customer
overhead.
Use hybrid when long-term rich coexistence is needed
For Exchange 2010 or higher (and hybrid), we can migrate personal archive as it is part of the
mailbox. What remains out of scope is all other types of archive data
Assign Exchange online license prior to the mailbox migration
Start low as 20 concurrent connections and then increase this number while monitoring the data
and source performance to avoid end-user access issues
Highly restrictive RBAC based permission model
Proven and tested migration methods for Enterprise and SMBU customers.
Throughput is determined by many factors, including network bandwidth and source server
performance

environment and Exchange Online to all customers
FastTrack assign’s Exchange online license prior to the mailbox migration
Lotus Notes mail files are pre-staged to Azure before migration to Exchange Online
mailboxes
Domino NAB to On-Prem AD / Azure AD objects synchronization is not covered
under FastTrack

FastTrack provides assistance in setting up bidirectional mail flow between the Gmail (G-suite) and
Exchange Online to all customers, but no free/busy coexistence
At the Google Tenant level, IMAP must be enabled. At the user level Google labels must be
configured as “Show in IMAP”
Assign Exchange online license prior to the mailbox migration
Migration Sequence
Contacts, Distribution Lists, Calendars and Mail – Sent Items Migrated first and no specific order for
the remaining folders.
Google throttles at 2.5 GB per mailbox/day on IMAP
Items are migrated by folder structure. Once inside the folder, it will migrate oldest to newest
By default, messages with multiple labels are copied into multiple target folders. Tool can also
convert labels to categories on the target.
Data Migrations
Issue Tip
VPN access ▪ VPN access to the environment as well as accounts to access the
data – This requirement has caused the most significant delays.
Virtual Machines ▪ The more infrastructure that can be provided, typically the better
the throughput. Place VMs close to source file share platforms
Set expectations ▪ Review the service description what will and will not migrate
▪ Migration speed will vary and is dependent on each
environment
Rationalize what to
move
▪ Get started rationalizing content in the data shares as early as
possible
▪ Consider on-prem systems which integrate with file shares
Governance &
security
▪ Discuss Governance and Security with your Security teams early
to avoid last minute delays
Platform Issue Tip
Both G-Drive
and Box
Review service Review the service description what will and will not migrate
Rationalization Get started rationalizing content in the data
Compliance Discuss Governance and Security customers early
Permissions External sharing permissions are not migrated*
Guidance Provide quick reference guides for end users
Scheduling Schedule users that collaborate often to migrate at the same time*
Schedule large drives to migrate early in the schedule
G-Drive only Information Architecture G-drive migrates to OneDrive for Business, not SharePoint Online
Throughput Throughput is 1 GB per hour per machine
Box only Information Architecture Departmental folders migrate to team sites and user folders migrate to OneDrive
for Business
Expanding usage
of RBAC roles to
reduce data
access
Constant
evaluation of
technology and
process around
infra design
Secure physical
access
Encryption end to
end in transport
What about SharePoint migrations?
FastTrack does not currently offer SharePoint On-Premises to SharePoint
Online migrations at this time
Attend other sessions this week on migration experiences and cases

Use SMAT (SharePoint Migration Assessment tool) to understand your
current environment and mitigate migration issues
