Select which users to migrate

It's now time to add which users you'd like to migrate.

When migrating, you may be able to Get Users from the actions menu. If this option is unavailable, you can manually import users via a CSV file or simply add them individually via the plus icon.

Selecting a star next to any specific user or users will prioritize their migration. When a migration starts, threads will be assigned to any starred user so that their migration can start immediately. 

At this point you can choose what to migrate for each user. You can migrate mail, contacts and calendars.

Enter your user's full email address within the Export Name field. If you have already created your Office 365 users, then you will just need to enter their username.

 

Select how much mail to migrate

CloudM Migrate lets you decide how much mail you would like to migrate to your shiny new system.

If you are changing your email address as part of the migration you can verify that the domain names are correct here. You can also specify specific address replacements in the respective section of the advanced settings.

For more information on domain and address replacements, see this page.

Start your migration

We know that you may want to start your migration in the middle of the night, or over the weekend, but we don't expect you to stay up in order to do so. With CloudM Migrate, you can decide to schedule exactly when you'd like the migration to occur.

Start the migration.

Review your migration results

During the migration process, CloudM Migrate will report back in real time exactly who is being migrated and the items being processed. All you now need to do is sit back, relax and wait for your migration to complete.

Check the progress of your migration.

Once complete you can download a full report for your migration.
