Mail Server
Google Apps Migration for Microsoft
®
Exchange requires one administrative account on your
Microsoft
®
Exchange Server that has read/write permission for each user’s mailbox. The
Microsoft
®
Exchange permission Receive As is sufficient for this task. For other mail servers,
see your mail server administration documentation.
For IMAP migration, you don’t need an administrator’s account or password. Instead, you will
need to provide the individual username and password for each user being migrated.
Microsoft
®
Windows client machine
Each client machine needs to have the following minimum configuration:
•
Microsoft
®
Windows: Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista Business SP1 or later, Windows
Server 2003 SP 2 or later
•
Microsoft Outlook® 2003, 2007, or 2010 (required only for migrating from Microsoft
®
Exchange Server or PST files)
We recommend that you use the latest patches for both Microsoft
®
Windows and Microsoft
Outlook®.
Important:
Be sure to install the latest Time Zone patch. For more information, see the
Microsoft Support page Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center.
Migration
Migration is accomplished via a wizard in which you provide all the necessary connection,
authentication, and configuration information.
During the migration, contacts and then calendar data are processed first, followed by email.
An update is provided as data has been migrated.
If a migration is stopped for any reason, you can restart the process, and the migration picks
up at the point it stopped on the last run.

process, see
