Add on tool for Add2Exchange Enterprise/365 Administrators

For Add2Exchange licensees, the Recovery and Migration Manager is a dual-purpose tool. It remaps existing Add2Exchange relationships when the Exchange IDs or email addresses of current relationships change. This is the case when either the folders have been restored during an Exchange recovery, Exchange Migration or when migrating mailboxes to a new server.

Recovery and Migration Manager (RMM) is an essential Add2Exchange add on tool for fixing folder IDs and mappings for Add2Exchange relationships which go into ‘alert status’ due to changes in underlying infrastructure of Exchange email addresses, or folder or mailbox IDs. You can use it to recover active relationships when someone’s default email address changes, for example a name change due to marriage or divorce. This tool goes hand in hand with the Add2Exchange version installed, so when Add2Exchange is upgraded, Recovery & Migration Manager should be also.

Most often, the Recovery and Migration Manager is used to repair active Add2Exchange relationships in alert status when accounts change, after a move of a user to any other server or organizational unit, Exchange version. It can be used after an Exchange failure or migration, Exchange cluster failover, or any other time the IDs of the source, destination folders or names change, and after a folder is deleted and restored.

 

Key Features and Benefits

  • Easily and automatically restore and recover alerted relationships if still active to avoid duplication. Without the tool, if you delete an alerted relationship, it will leave the copied data in the destination. This is normally undesirable. If this is done, the user of ToolKit is necessary to remove the copies from the destination before the relationship is remade.
  • Repoint relationships as you migrate your Exchange server versions
  • Remap relationships to original source and/or destination folders
  • Minimize the ‘stale data’ period of not syncing and downtime and recover from Exchange failures
  • Assists with Add2Exchange disaster recovery
  • Helps with relationship migrations
  • Assists to repair broken templates
  • Minimizes chances of duplication

When to Use Recovery and Migration Manager

  • You are moving mailboxes served by Add2Exchange to a new server or mailbox store.
  • You are migrating to different Exchange servers or different implementations or versions of Exchange.
  • You are restoring an Exchange backup to a Recovery Storage Group.
  • You are using an Exchange failover solution or cluster to perform a hot-failover which will remain in service for any significant period of time.
  • Your organization had an Exchange disaster and had to recover where the folder IDs are different after the restore.
  • You have a number of alerted relationships and do not want to manually clean up after a rebuild or you do not have the ToolKit.
  • You were reorganizing or moving mailboxes or public folders between storage groups/servers.
  • You deleted and restored folders with existing relationships which now have new IDs after the restore/move.
  • You are migrating your entire Exchange Server or to a different environment/platform, such as Office 365.

 

How It Works

The Recovery and Migration Manager processes existing relationships in alert, queries Exchange for new folder IDs, and allows the Service Account user to re-select the ORIGINAL or RESTORED folders and rebuild the relationships without causing duplication, without rebuilding and without having to use tools to manually remove destination items. It provides a graphical user experience to re-pick folders based on new environment change and only works on alerted relationships. It can be run in automatic or fully manual mode for exact results.

Caution: Without this tool, if a user manually removes any destination items on a bi-directional relationship that specifies to delete source if destination item is deleted, if Add2Exchange replicates again, it will do exactly what the relationship says to do and will remove the source items.

Also, a newly rebuilt relationship could create duplication. The Recovery and Migration Manager by fixing older relationships and can eliminate this potential problem with the least impact on computer processing and user experience.
