Cross Forest Migration Enterprise Vault 12.2
Hi All,
we are planning to do AD cross forest migration to new forest.
current EV environment:
- Enterprise Vault 12.x.
- Archiving targets: Exchange 2010 MBX server - Windows 2012 File Servers.
Proposed environment in the new forest:
- Enterprse Vault -> Latest Version.
- Archiving targets -> Exchange Server 2016 - Windows 2012 - 2016 File Servers.
-- So, appreciate your help :smileyhappy: if anyone implement or working with such these scenario and have an imagination how can we achieve that. Do we create a new EV environemnt in the new target forest, and if so how can we re-link the archived mailboxes with its archive?? and in coexistence period how can we archive from both?
Hi,
You can move Enterprise Vault in it's entirety to the new domain. You then could upgrade to 12.4
I am however not sure how this works for FSA. I have performed these steps a few times in the last weeks, without issues. You do need to take in account that you need to set a registry key (to be sure in old and new domain), called SyncInMigrationMode. Look in Registry Guide for the exact location.
The longer run would be to install new EV in new domain. Disable user for archiving in old domain. Move mailbox. enable user in new domain. Use move arcvhive to migrate user archive to new EV. Catch. You cannot move Journal Archives this way, and I believe you cannot move FSA archives this way.
