Get-MigrationEndpoint

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Get-MigrationEndpoint cmdlet to retrieve migration endpoint settings for source or destination servers for cutover or staged Exchange migrations, IMAP migrations, and remote moves.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description

The Get-MigrationEndpoint cmdlet retrieves settings for different types of migration:

  • Cross-forest move: Move mailboxes between two different on-premises Exchange forests. Cross-forest moves require the use of a RemoteMove endpoint.
  • Remote move: In a hybrid deployment, a remote move involves onboarding or offboarding migrations. Remote moves require the use of a RemoteMove endpoint. Onboarding moves mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online, and uses a RemoteMove endpoint as the source endpoint of the migration batch. Offboarding moves mailboxes from Exchange Online to an on-premises Exchange organization and uses a RemoteMove endpoint as the target endpoint of the migration batch.
  • Cutover Exchange migration: Migrate all mailboxes in an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online. Cutover Exchange migration requires the use of an Exchange endpoint.
  • Staged Exchange migration: Migrate a subset of mailboxes from an on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online. Staged Exchange migration requires the use of an Exchange endpoint.
  • IMAP migration: Migrate mailbox data from an on-premises Exchange organization or other email system to Exchange Online. For an IMAP migration, you must first create the cloud-based mailboxes before you migrate mailbox data. IMAP migrations require the use of an IMAP endpoint.
  • Local: Move mailboxes between different servers or databases within a single on-premises Exchange forest. Local moves don't require the use of an endpoint.
