Setting Up a MAPI Profile

Setting up a MAPI profile provides login information so the Migration Utility can access a specific Exchange server. You need to create a MAPI profile for each Exchange server in your system so that the Migration Utility can access it.

  1. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click Mail, click Show Profiles, then click Add.

  2. Provide a name for the new profile, then click OK.

  3. Select Add a New E-Mail Account, then click Next.

  4. Select Microsoft Exchange Server, then click Next.

  5. Provide login information for the Exchange server:

    1. Specify the name of the Exchange server from which you are migrating users.

    2. Specify a mailbox name on that server.

      You can use your mailbox name, your username, or someone else's as long as the mailbox resides on that Exchange server.

    3. Click Check Name to make sure that the login information is accurate.

      If the name check fails, the Migration Utility cannot access your Exchange system.

    4. Click Next.

  6. Click Finish.

    The new profile now appears in the profile list.

  7. Select Prompt for a Profile To Be Used, then click OK.

  8. Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 for each Exchange server in your system.
