hi mbaher, i reach to this blog on my searching of cross-org email migration. your information is very precious for me that i finally can figure out what should i do to handle the issue.

one question left unsolved here is... how if i only migrate a group of users? let say we were in asia-pacific company running exchange with total 30k mailboxes. i migrate only 1k mailboxes which are part of my country only, into a new exchange organization. with your scripts, i can only resolve those 1k users. should i import all those 2.9k users into my new exchange-org and setup legacyexchangedn for them all? sounds like too huge data for a very little usage, not worthed?

please share your thought.

thank you!

Hi Ferry,

Do you still want the 1k users to communicate with the rest easily by finding them in the GAL? if yes then you will have to import the 29k users in the new GAL as contacts or even import them.

from my point of view, those 1k users used to see the rest of the contacts in the GAL, if you suddenly moved them to new org with only their contacts then they will face difficulties in locating their old mates (the 29k)... right?

Appears you need a colon between X500 & $_.legacyexchangedn

Hi Austin,

Sure you can add the colon in the cmdlet or you can just add it in the CSV file. In my case I depend on the CSV file.

Hello M

I have tried to use the CSVDE and export the result to a file, but I can't find a column called ALIAS. I have lots of columns but the alias one is missing. Could it be the DN one?

Hi Marco,

The Alias is just a name that i created in the CSV file that i used, the content for it is the email alias!
