E-Mail Migration Users Status Report
Applies to: Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, Office 365 for enterprises, Live@edu
You can display status information for each user migrated during a cutover Exchange migration, a staged Exchange migration, or an IMAP migration. This migration information can help you troubleshoot issues that might prevent the migration of a user’s mailbox or mailbox items. You can display this migration status information for migration batches that are currently running, that have been stopped, or that are complete.
To display per-user status information for a migration batch, perform the following steps:
- In the Exchange Control Panel, select Manage My Organization > Users & Groups > E-Mail Migration.
- In the migration batch list, click the migration batch to display.
- In the details pane, in the Per-User Details field, click Open.
The E-Mail Migration Users window will appear.
The name of the migration batch, the administrator who started it, and the date and time it was started is displayed at the top of the window. The following information about the selected migration batch is displayed:
- Requested The number of mailboxes migrated in the migration batch. Depending on the migration type, this field also indicates the number of distribution groups and mail contacts to be migrated.
- Synced The number of mailboxes that were successfully migrated. Depending on the migration type, the value for this field also indicates the number of distribution groups and mail contacts that were migrated.
- Active The number of mailboxes that are being actively migrated.
- Errors The number of mailboxes for which migration failed.
Migration users list
Each user in the migration batch is included in the list of migration users. Use the drop-down list in the Select view field to filter the migration users list.
- All users Displays all users in the migration batch.
- In progress users Displays the users who are being actively migrated.
- Failed users Displays the users for which migration failed.
- Synced users Displays the users who were successfully migrated.
Note The migration users list displays a maximum of 500 users. If the migration batch contains more than 500 users, you can search for a specific user or filter the list of users displayed.
