Exporting from Global Mailbox

Export resources such as mailboxes, virtual roots, and event rules in an existing system to prepare to import them into another Global Mailbox system. This is useful when you want to create a test environment, create resources, test, and move to a production environment when you are satisfied with your data.

About this task

To export from Global Mailbox:

Procedure

    --reportFileName
    The report file that is generated, listing the resources exported and any errors or warnings during export.
  3. Review the information in the export report and resolve any error conditions.
  4. Repeat step 2 until the results in the report are as intended.
