Hello,
We are in the process of migrating users from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, with this I would like to batch migrate users.
What is the correct CSV format/syntax to move users? Our Exchange 2010 users have a live/archive database.
From what i've read around it say it should be..
EmailAddress,TargetDatabase,TargetArchiveDatabase,BadItemLimit
user1@domain.com,livedb1,arcdb1,25
user1@domain.com,livedb2,arcdb2,25
Is this the correct format? For "user1" I would like the live database to go into livedb1 and the archive to arcdb2.
According to this.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn170437(v=exchg.150).aspx
It says.. (this is a local move, same local domain just moving to new server).
Specifies the mailbox database that the user’s archive mailbox will be moved to. You can specify a different database in the different rows of the CSV file, which lets you move archive mailboxes in the same migration batch to different databases.

If you specify a specific archive database, the archive mailbox (if it exists) will be moved to the same database as the primary mailbox. |
It says if you specify a specific database, the archive mailbox will be moved to the same database as the primary mailbox ?! I need to separate the two, this is why I am specifying an archive databaase?!
Should it be like this below...?
EmailAddress,TargetDatabase,TargetArchiveDatabase,BadItemLimit
user1@domain.com,livedb1,,25
user1@domain.com,,arcdb1,25
user2@domain.com,livedb2,25
user2@domain.com,,arcdb2,25
Thanks.
