Switch Description
/D:Domain name The target address prevents your
migrating mailboxes from
initializing. Migration Wizard moves
mailboxes in two stages. If mail
comes into the mailbox before
Migration Wizard initializes it, the
mailbox is initialized, clone mode is
cancelled and Migration Wizard
switches to default mode. To
prevent this, you can run Migration
Wizard in batch (command-line)
mode with the target address
command.


662

Switch Description
/P:Password The password for the administrator
account.
Note:
You can only use this switch if
the source mailboxes are on an
Exchange server.
/F:Logging Mode In the event of a migration failure,
you can use the log to determine

which mailboxes moved
successfully and which mailboxes
failed to move, and then take
appropriate action (Exchange
migrations only).
/S:Silent mode Silent mode. No error messages
are displayed. All errors are written
to the Event Log.


663

Switch Description
/M:Clone mode Clone mode. Used for migrating
from Exchange.
/?/h/help Displays Help text.

Examples
mailmig /M /C:d:\migrate\po72195.txt
mailmig /C:salespo.txt /A:admin /P:katmanduKatmandu
Note:
Running Migration Wizard with /m only (for example, \mailmig /m)
starts Migration Wizard in clone mode.

Result Codes
Depending on the success, the command line returns the following result
codes:

 0 = Success. No errors or warnings
 1 = Warnings. No errors
 2 = Errors. Possible warnings
Running Multiple Instances of Migration Wizard
Because Migration Wizard is a single-threaded application, to increase
performance and speed of your migration, you can run Migration Wizard
in multi-instance mode. This option is available only if you run Migration
Wizard from a command prompt.
To run Migration Wizard in multi-instance mode, at a command prompt,
type D:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\mailmig.exe (where D:\Program
Files is the drive on which Exchange 2003 is installed), and then click
OK.
