Comment on Offline Domino Migration to Exchange 2010, with Quest Notes Migrator to Exchange by rwalton

Thanks for reading the blog. In my experience on migrations from NSF to Exchange (using Quest NME), the sizing ratio and vary between -30% to +30%, which is not very useful for trying to size Exchange 2010 ready for a migration. The conversion ratio is determined by the message types (RTF, attachment types etc…) so is hard to accurately estimate. It is best to size for “worst case”, so if all Domino data was, say 1TB, then I would be looking at sizing Exchange 2010 to store 1.5TB data – then add on the usual Exchange sizing considerations. You can also run some sample conversions of specific NSF files to PST as a sample, if you are able.

Feel free to ask any more questions, via the blog here, or via my contact details (available elsewhere on the website).

Hi, great blog!

Is the migration from NSF to Exchange mailbox a one-to-one ratio for sizing?
e.g. will a 1Gb NSF be a 1Gb Exchange mailbox?

I know Exchange 2010 doesn’t do Single Attachment storage so that will increase, but for a single mailbox, is it roughly one to one or even better?

timely article…i have the same scenario following an acquisition where conversion of NSF files must occur offline without any contacting of the original Domino server…thereby making it an offline conversion to PST.

Can you confirm again what the experience is with calendar migration and personal address books.

thx

Thanks for asking your question. There is no exact answer on how to migrate from Domino to Exchange 2010, as each project scenario is usually different, but the closest one I have seen on the internet is within the Administrator Guide for the Quest Notes Migrator to Exchange product. If you download a trial copy of the product you get the full documentation set, which covers the general migration very well. Of course, it is geared towards their product, but you still get a lot of valuable, and free, advice ! Otherwise, I am happy to help provide a more customized approach to fit your needs if required – email me using the contact details on the website if you require any consultancy in this area.

Comment on GroupWise Migrations to Exchange 2010 vs Quest GroupWise Coexistence Manager – thoughts … by Chad Lindley

Coexistence Manager for GroupWise actually support GroupWise 8.0.0-8.0.2. We are also investigating support for GroupWise 7.x, but this will require a different architecture to support Free/Busy lookups from GroupWise to Exchange. CMG 1.0.1 will also release soon and support direct, bi-directional free/busy with Office 365.

Hi.

My name is Ahto Klaos and I’m working for Webmedia Group as Competence Manager. Webmedia is a software and system integration company in Estonia. For more information please visit http://www.webmedia.eu

We have a customer who has needs for migrating existing LotusDomino to Exchange2010. I found your website and it seems that Quest has a tool for this challenge. I’d like to ask what is estimated budget to do this work with Quest software (license fees, some trainings) and how long it takes (LotusDomino database is approximately 500GB)? And how does the migrating process look like?

Regards,
Ahto Klaos.
