With a staged migration, users can be migrated to the cloud using the web-based Exchange migration tool and the Directory Synchronization tool. Instead of migrating all users at once, like a cutover Exchange migration, administrators migrate users in batches. This is accomplished by uploading a. In a staged migration, all of the users in an organization can share the same email domain name.

Staged Exchange migration requires administrators to use the Online Services Directory Synchronization tool. This provides users with a unified Global Address List GAL where the online environment is continuously synchronized with the on-premises environment. For more information about staged Exchange migrations, see What you need to know about a staged email migration. Organizations can't use a staged Exchange migration to migrate Exchange and Exchange mailboxes.

If you have fewer than 2, Exchange or Exchange mailboxes in your organization, you can use a cutover Exchange migration. If you have more than 2, Exchange or Exchange mailboxes, you can implement a hybrid deployment. Microsoft provides several tools to help migrate an existing email environment to Exchange Online. Which ones are appropriate depends on the organization's current environment and deployment goals:. Migration dashboard - Administrators can use the Migration dashboard in the Exchange admin center to manage mailbox migration to Exchange Online in a cutover or staged Exchange migration.

Administrators can also use the dashboard to migrate the contents of users' mailboxes from an on-premises IMAP server to existing Exchange Online mailboxes. The dashboard gives administrators the following capabilities:.

Create and start multiple migration batches - Administrators can create and queue up to migration batches. Only one migration batch runs at a time, but administrators can queue up multiple batches, so when a migration batch is finished running the next batch in the queue starts.

Restart a migration batch with failures - After the initial synchronization for a migration batch, where items are copied from on-premises mailboxes to the cloud mailboxes for each user in the migration batch, some mailboxes may fail synchronization.

Administrators can restart that migration batch to try to synchronize the failed mailboxes. Get details about skipped items - For IMAP migrations, cutover migrations, and staged migrations, the Migration dashboard displays information about the specific items that were skipped, including the reason why and where the item is located in the user's mailbox. Open migration reports - Administrators can open migration statistics or the migration error report for a migration batch right from the dashboard.

Edit a migration batch - If a migration batch for a staged Exchange migration or an IMAP migration is in the migration queue but not currently running, administrators can edit the migration batch. The tool performs a one-way synchronization from on-premises Active Directory to Exchange Online. After migration is complete, administrators only need to use Exchange Online to manage Active Directory users and groups. The tool also provides users with a unified Global Address List where the online environment is continuously synchronized with the on-premises environment.
