Comprehensive migration planning and preparation for exchange to cloud transitions

Prepare your Office 365 Migration

Migration from Exchange Server to Microsoft 365 Cloud requires careful preparation. Promodag Reports provides accurate analysis and insights for both environments from a single interface throughout your migration journey

  • Complete system element inventory
  • Obsolete item detection and cleanup
  • Volume estimation and optimization
  • Unified hybrid environment reporting

Complete System Element Inventory

Generate comprehensive inventories of all Exchange components with each directory import. Promodag Reports recovers identifiers and attributes of Exchange recipients, populating the database with immediately available information for faster inventory generation than PowerShell queries.

Exchange Recipient Inventory

Automatically recover and catalog all Exchange recipients with their identifiers and attributes for comprehensive pre-migration analysis.

  • Complete mailbox inventory and cataloging
  • Distribution group comprehensive listing
  • Public folder detailed documentation
  • Email contact systematic recording

Rapid Inventory Generation

Generate customized, exhaustive lists much faster than PowerShell queries with immediate database availability and comprehensive attribute access.

  • Immediate database information availability
  • Faster than PowerShell query execution
  • Customizable inventory report generation
  • Comprehensive attribute documentation

Obsolete Item Detection & Cleanup

Identify Exchange recipients that should be eliminated before migration starts. Use advanced filters to isolate mailboxes and contacts without traffic, groups without members, and obviously unused components for targeted pre-migration cleanup.

Inactive Component Detection

Identify mailboxes and contacts with no traffic activity over extended periods for pre-migration elimination consideration.

  • Mailbox inactivity pattern detection
  • Contact usage analysis over time
  • Traffic-less recipient identification
  • Extended period activity assessment

Empty Group Identification

Use advanced filtering to isolate distribution groups without members and obviously unused components for targeted cleanup operations.

  • Groups without members detection
  • Obviously unused component identification
  • Advanced filtering capabilities
  • Targeted cleanup operation planning

Migration Volume Estimation

Measure cumulative volume of existing objects to determine migration adjustments and staging requirements. Import individual sizes of mailboxes, public folders, and Exchange databases for comprehensive volume planning and migration timeline estimation.

Cumulative Volume Analysis

Measure the total volume of all components scheduled for migration to determine resource requirements and staging strategies.

  • Total migration volume calculation
  • Individual mailbox size assessment
  • Public folder volume measurement
  • Exchange database sizing analysis

Grouped Volume Breakdown

Break down volumes by DAGs, servers, or groups with common attributes for strategic migration planning and resource allocation.

  • DAG-based volume breakdown
  • Server-specific size analysis
  • Attribute-based grouping
  • Strategic migration planning support

Targeted Weight-Loss Program

Quantify the proportion of messages that are too old or bulky for targeted archiving or deletion before migration. Scan abnormally large mailboxes and distribute Outlook items by age or size criteria with automated individual reporting capabilities.

Content Age Analysis

Analyze mailbox contents by age and size to identify items suitable for archiving or deletion before migration begins.

  • Old message identification and quantification
  • Bulky item detection and analysis
  • Age-based content distribution
  • Size-based optimization recommendations

Automated User Notifications

Automatically send individual reports to mailbox owners highlighting cleanup opportunities and optimization recommendations.

  • Individual cleanup reports generation
  • Automated user notification system
  • Personalized optimization recommendations
  • Targeted mailbox cleanup guidance

Migration Completion Verification

Verify migration completion by updating the database with reimported directories and creating tracking logs for new mailboxes. Check that migrated users are actively sending and receiving messages while verifying correct transfer of inbox rules and permissions.

Post-Migration Verification

Update databases and create new tracking logs to verify that migrated mailboxes are functioning correctly in the cloud environment.

  • Database reimport and update
  • New mailbox tracking log creation
  • Active messaging verification
  • User activity confirmation

Permission Transfer Verification

Verify correct transfer of inbox rules, mailbox permissions, and folder-level authorizations to ensure seamless user experience.

  • Inbox rules transfer verification
  • Mailbox permission confirmation
  • Folder authorization checking
  • Access control validation
