Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration

Introduction
This chapter briefly describes the reports you can produce using Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration.
The content of these reports is dependant upon information written to the database by Notes Migrator for Exchange v4.0. The Mailbox Comparison report requires successful gathering of information in an Exchange environment written by mailbox gathering tasks in MessageStats. For more information on how to run a mailbox gathering task, refer to the Quest MessageStats Administrators Guide.

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration is comprised of two report categories: Notes Pre-migration Assessment Notes Migration Status

Notes Pre-migration Assessment Reports

The Notes Pre-migration Assessment folder provides specific reports that facilitate the planning of your Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange migration.

You need to run specific tasks in Notes Migrator for Exchange v4.0 in order to populate the pre-migration assessment and migration status reports. For more information, see Pre-requisite Tasks To Run Notes Pre-migration Assessment and Notes Migration Status Reports on page 18. 24

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration Reports

The Notes Pre-migration Assessment folder contains the following reports: Internet Domains Notes Domains Notes Servers Users and Resources Design Classes External Recipients Distribution Lists

Internet Domains
There may be cases, in large Notes installations, where an additional Internet domain has been configured on some servers. In addition, in some cases such as mergers or acquisitions, the staff performing a migration may not be aware of all the Internet domains supported by the Notes infrastructure. This report provides a mechanism to determine what is currently configured on the Notes servers in order to properly configure Internet domains for the Exchange system. This report also identifies whether the domain is a primary or secondary domain.

Notes Domains
In large Notes installations, there may be cases where multiple Notes domains have been configured. In some cases such as mergers or acquisitions, the staff performing a mirgration may not be aware of all the current Notes domains. In sites that do use multiple Notes domains, it is important to carefully review this report and be sure it includes all Notes domains. Only servers and data in the domains listed in the report will be able to be migrated. If there are additional domains not listed, an appropriate Name and Address Book (NAB) should be added to the configuration of Notes Migrator for Exchange.

Notes Servers
This report provides key data for planning a migration. It identifies all the Notes servers along with information on how much data each contains. By examining the location of the servers, and the bandwidth and latency of their network connection along with the amount of data, you can begin to determine the

25

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration

amount of time required to migrate the data. Pilot migrations from each server can help you to refine these estimates.

Users and Resources

This is a crucial report for planning a migration. It lists all the resources and users mailboxes eligible for migration and also reports on the number of items and size of the data store in Notes. The report also contains identifying information such as department, location and server. You can use this information to define collections of resources and mailboxes to be migrated together. Typically, collections contain users in the same department and location. The use of the data store size estimates permits you to create collections of appropriate sizes so they can be completed in your intended timeframe.

Design Classes
Lotus Notes permits the use of different design classes to support different types of data. Some examples include STDR6Mail for mail, and STDR6PersonalAddressBook for personal address books. Notes also supports the creation of custom design classes either by creating a new one or making modifications to an existing design class. When migrating data, Notes Migrator for Exchange uses these design classes to determine the type of data and how it should be mapped to Exchange. All default design classes are automatically mapped. This report shows you all the different design classes that are in use in the data scanned by Notes Migrator for Exchange. For each, it indicates if it is already mapped or not, and also identifies a specific example of a data store using each design class. If your enterprise has customized data classes, you should look at the unmapped data classes to determine if they contain standard data, such as messages and calendar data, and if they should be mapped for migration.

External Recipients
Lotus Notes supports external recipients in its directory so Internet addresses of any partners can be made readily available to all users. Use this report to get a list of external recipients that you may want to create as Contacts in Active Directory.

26

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration Reports

Distribution Lists
Many large enterprises have a significant number of groups. This report allows you to see those groups that are defined in the Notes environment. Notes Migrator for Exchange can migrate these groups to Exchange. Using information in this report (such as owner, group type, Notes and Internet Address), allows you to collect similar groups together and have Notes Migrator for Exchange provision them in the same Organizational Unit within Active Directory. This is often preferable to placing an extremely large number of groups all into the same Organizational Unit container.

Notes Migration Status Reports

The Notes Migration Status folder contains reports that provide information regarding the progress of the migration from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange.

You need to run specific tasks in Notes Migrator for Exchange v4.0 in order to populate the pre-migration assessment and migration status reports. For more information, see Pre-requisite Tasks To Run Notes Pre-migration Assessment and Notes Migration Status Reports on page 18.

The Notes Migration Status folder contains the following reports: Migration Status per Collection Migration Status per Server Mailbox Comparison Distribution List Provisioning NSF Status

27

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration

Migration Status per Collection

This migration report provides you with a powerful mechanism for reviewing migration results. For each user or resource, it lets you know how many errors were encountered and the amount of data migrated. Use this report to identify those mailboxes and resoures requiring cleanup, re-migration, or additional actions. You can also use the data to calculate throughput and to estimate the throughput of subsequent migrations. Adjusting the size of different collections based upon these numbers allows you to optimize migration resources.

Migration Status per Server

This report provides a list of objects for each server and migration information including information about the data store for each object, migration run times, and details about the data that was migrated. Before shutting down a Notes server, it is a good practice to review this report. Ensure that all desired mailboxes and resources have been migrated to prevent the inadvertent "orphaning" of a user.

Mailbox Comparison
This report displays data counts and storage size of corresponding Notes and Exchange mailboxes. Lotus Notes and Exchange store data differently so subsequently, the storage size numbers will not be the same. Use this report to obtain information on the validity of a migration as well as background data to allow you to estimate storage requirements on Exchange for other migrations.

Distribution List Provisioning

This report allows you to determine which distribution lists have been provisioned. It indicates not just the creation of new lists but also reports on changes to previously migrated lists. This allows the use of Notes as the authoritative source for a list and to periodically re-migrate the list to Exchange. If any changes have been made to the list on Notes, this report shows detailed information on how it has provisioned Active Directory to ensure the Exchange and Notes version of the list are consistent.

28

Quest MessageStats Report Pack for Lotus Notes Migration Reports

NSF Status
NSF files are Notes Storage Files. This report provides a mechanism to check on the migration status of specific user mailboxes or resource reservation databases. You can report on NSF files specific to a server or select specific user mailboxes or resource reservation databases and determine if and when they were migrated, error counts, and how much data was migrated.
